The Farm Was Amaz'n!

 We headed to the Farm again this year that is just down the road from us.  It's so fun to see the differences in her from what she was like and looked like from last year.  She was so excited, a little timid of the animals at times, and very brave all at at the same time.
 We were going to the farm anyway, but we told her because she stayed dry for a whole week that we were going to the farm to celebrate her hard work:)  Yes, she is in underwear in all of these pictures and we did do a potty break there as well!  No accidents!  I think it's safe to say in print that we're trained!
 I love baby goats...Svea was a little bit nervous at first.
 Hopefully Kieran enjoyed himself.  I did catch a few smiles out of him as he watched the puppies and saw the goats prancing around his stroller.  One of the babies even tried to climb up his stroller to check things out.  Here are the guys just hanging out:)
 Svea was a little timid of the kitties too.  Not quite sure about petting them.
 A girl and her Dad...so sweet!
 Not the best picture of Kieran, but he had to part of the action too!
 Here's where the brave part comes in.  Svea saw the slide from far away and said she wanted to go down.  We thought she just had "high" hopes and didn't think she'd actually want to go down.  The thing is huge!  She got to the bottom to look up and she was all in.  Dan took her up the steps and she walked the whole way and didn't flinch once.  He laid down the sack and he seriously thought she'd be too scared and change her mind.  Instead she asked him if she could go alone! 
 Here they come and then we did it again two more times!  She loved it!
 Before we took off we raced these girls and sat at the top talking to them as two of them are my students.  She kepts asking me if she could go alone with the girls:)
 We said maybe next year:)  We have a fearless one on our hands.
 We raced some ducks. 
 Played with some real chickens.
 Played with some fake chickens.  Or the other way around, I'm not sure which.
 And fed the birds:) I thought she would be scared of this event too, but she was all for it and at one point about fifty birds swooped past us all at once inches above our head and she didn't mind at all.
We love taking her to do new things and seeing how she reacts to things.  Next year we'll have Kieran running around too and he'll be almost two.  That seems so crazy! Here's a picture of Svea last year to compare how much she's grown!
They grow too fast!  I forgot...see behind Svea and Dan...the bouncy houses?  Last year she was obviously too little, but this year she couldn't wait to get into them.  She bounced in one, we did a maze one together, and then we went down the a slide one too!
