Fun On The Farm Until...

your child is bitten by a horse while feeding him. Fingers attached, just an abrasion on her pinkie and ring finger.  This incident happened at the end at least.  

Back to our day on the farm.  Saturday was opening day at Old McFaye's Farm.  Our friend Tara and her little girl Julia, who's 3 months younger than Vivian, invited us to the farm. This little farm is actually someone's backyard which was nice to see where we live.  Felt as if I was back in Mississippi. 

They have the standard farm animals which Vivian loved, especially the roosters and chickens. 

 The girls fed goats, rabbits, sheep/lambs, turkeys and horses.  They even went on a hayride.  They offered a pony ride, but didn't ride since they were a little too small. The farm was adorable and perfect for small children.  Whenever I can do something that brings simplicity, I'm in!!!

About to not end pretty.  The horse that nibbled on Vivian's hand.

Time to call it a day.

After returning home, Vivian was happy after getting Wendy's for lunch.  She was playing and running around then she tripped on the playmat, fell and her forehead hit the bottom corner of the couch.  Yeah, left a puncture and bruise.  Saturday was not her day.

A Month in Mississippi

I haven't stayed in MS this long since I've lived there 8 years ago.  Hard to believe its been that long.  It was great getting back to quite life of country living and small towns.

Vivian had lots of "firsts" while she was there.  She went to her first zoo, Jackson Zoo.  It was us and maybe 12 other people there.  It definitely has changed since I was a child, but Vivy enjoyed herself.  She especially lived the flamingos.

(I somehow managed to lose my camera that had all the pictures taken from the zoo and I didn't take any with my phone.  So sad.)

She went to her first dairy farm.  My Mom's sister and her husband are owners.  I loved going there as a kid!  Seeing all the calf's, playing on the bails of hay, playing in the creek and pushing pellets out of bunny rabbits.  That was so mean of us!  Vivian loved the farm.  She even went to another farm and saw horses.

Went to her great grandmothers house.

Rode on a carousel at Tanger Outlet.

Played in the sprinklers.

B and I even were able to get away for a few days.  One day we spent the day at Geyser Falls Waterpark.  That was a lot of fun.  We even spent a few days down in Biloxi for our 8 year wedding anniversary.  We stayed at Palace Casino for 2 nights.  Nice little getaway, but I really missed little tootie-toot. 

Vivian turned 13 months on June 22nd, our 8 year wedding anniversary.  You are almost running, don't like food that is cold, love fruit and veggies, you say "yeah" all the time, if I say "bring me your yellow ball" or "give Bro Bro his baby" you'll do it without me pointing, you have weaned yourself off your bottle, you still aren't a fan of your carseat, you are a great sharer, you are gentle with animals, you love books, brushing your teeth, you are a total Mama's girl.

 Memom and Papa sure did enjoy little girl!

B left a week before us and when Vivy and I returned home, he had a surprise for her.  A big pink polar bear!

 
We had a great time Mississippi!  We already miss you!
