A trip to Davis Farm

A few days late but I really wanted to write about our weekend. On Saturday and Sunday it was 100 degrees here in Boston but we didn't let that stop us from getting out there to enjoy the scorching hot temperatures.

Saturday was spent at Davis' Farm which is a petting zoo with a twist. It also has a spray (water) park, a huge sand box and several playgrounds. Basically, they have thought of everything.

After a little apprehension, Connor got the hang of feeding the animals. We fed lots of goats, calves and sheep. We even saw a peacock with its feathers fully extended which was beautiful. There was even a small pen of baby goats which were only a few days/weeks old. Connor took a liking to them and one even nibbled at his finger which he laughed at.

Above is a baby goat actually sleeping in a chair. Connor kept telling him to wake up because he had food for him.

It was hard to believe that we had visited the farm not too long ago. The last time we were there was September 2007 which was one short month before Garrett's arrival. Now 9 short months later, look at my boys.

Since we had such a great time, we thought it might be interesting to take a picture by this growth chart to see the change in the boys next time we are there. It really shows how you have to enjoy every minute because time really does fly.

After all our time with the animals, we were all very hot and ready to visit the spray park. Thanks to our visit to the water park last weekend Connor was so much more comfortable splashing around in the water and even got adventurous on us. He went through one part of the park which shoots water at you from rings...basically you are soaked by the time you get out. Connor ventured right on thru by himself. He even decided to use my sunglasses the last few times through the rings to try to shield his eyes from the water. Good thinking, right? Garrett, who doesn't seem to get disturbed by anything, splashed his feet around and watched all the fun. He loved trying to stand up in the big puddles of water.
First off, how cute are the pictures below. After an entire day in 100 degree heat, my boys were still in great spirits. Aren't they cute? You can truly see how much they love each other. They really are every mother's dream.

Saturday was also a day of firsts. Before leaving for the farm, Garrett was laying on his belly and got up on his hands and knees. So, he will soon he a man on the move. While at the farm, Connor had his first ice cream cone. He handled it like a true champ and enjoyed every lick.

Okay, that was Saturday. I think I will start a new post for Sunday...I told you we had lots of fun.
