Erin and Owen were going to visit Erin's dad's farm and invited Joshua and I to come along. As soon as the boys' feet hit the dirt they ran into the barn in search of tractors to sit on. Besides two large tractors they climbed in the combine and the huge truck. Joel got the vintage John Deere pedal tractor down for the boys to ride - it was so cute! Then it was off to see the cows and the horses. Owen didn't want to get too close to the animals even though he had been talking about seeing them for days. Joshua on the other hand loved getting up close and personal, even feeding the horses carrots! Back at the barn Erin took Joshua for a ride on the little tractor (otherwise knows as the lawn mower). Joshua loved trying to steer! The boys also noticed some lovely mud puddles by the barn. I told Joshua he could walk through the puddle with his new frog boots. He looked at me in dismay not really believing he wouldn't get wet. Not more than a few moments after this new discovery he said, "Can I jump?!" Much to every one's surprise I gave him the go ahead. It's not everyday you get a chance to jump in a mud puddle! Joshua LOVED jumping and splashing in the mud (he didn't really notice how dirty he was)! Owen decided it was better to stand back and observe his crazy cousin. Soon Joshua realized that being wet on a cold day isn't exactly fun so it was time for a quick change. We were off after this stopping by a Family Farm and Home store. The field trip continued as the boys got to see chicks, ducklings baby turkeys and rabbits. Oh what a dream day for a couple of farm-loving boys!
