On the farm

 Last week Violet and I packed up and headed to Tremont!  We spent a few days on the farm to keep Grammy company.  It was so fun!  Violet was an excellent traveler.  She did well in the car and slept well in the pack 'n' play in Riley's room.  She fondly called it the "little bed upstairs RiRi's room."  We ran errands, played on the farm, and even got to see some friends.   I had a renewed appreciation for small town life.  A place where literally everyone knows your name (or someone in your family) and will charge your food or gas to your account still exists, people.  It was a great trip for all of us!

Exploring the farm with RiRi

So many cats!

These moo cows had a few visitors and we hope it was fun for them.   Little did they know the next morning they would be loaded up and taken to a place where they would become...well, um, steaks!

It was super windy, but I think the wind blown look works for us.

This is my favorite picture of our time there.  Little girl out on the farm.  And the sky!

Chickens, roosters, and dogs oh my!

The two big dogs scare everyone but her.  They are huge and bark loud but really are nice dogs once they smell you.  They would knock her over accidentally and she would laugh and laugh.  She kept asking to see more dog dogs and she just loved them both.

Reading bedtime stories with Grammy

The sunrise was so beautiful.  It was shades of purple, pink, orange, and yellow.  Amazing.

We enjoyed the Children's Discovery Museum in Bloomington a lot!  We met Ashley and Ben there and those two ran around and gave the moms a workout :-)

Driving the tractor.  No recreational facility in central Illinois would be complete without a tractor display!

Of course she gave the babies their bottles...

Driving the cars on the tracks

Painting what she called a blue airplane.  Can you see it?

So fun!
