Farmland Extravaganza

Colin and Liam spent the week at Sports Camp so I had more time than usual to cater to the little ones' (okay, Eamon's) whims. We spent one day at Davis' Farmland, another out to lunch and a third blueberry-picking. Eamon was actually a very good blueberry picker, although Sadie ate a lot of our bountiful basket. She squeaked and shouted like a big-mouthed baby bird at me anytime the blueberries didn't find their way into her beak fast enough. The big boys had a ball at their camp and fell in love with Coach Susie. Both Coach Susie and Coach Peter were from the UK, so Liam came home one day chattering out the fact that they played Football which he loved. "YOU call it Soccer, mom, but WE call it Football!!" Apparently he'd forgotten the fact that we are no longer an English Colony! Colin thought it was so cool that Coach Susie was from Scotland and "talked like Shrek".



The water park was the perfect way to end a very hot and sticky day. Eamon loved brushing the baby calves, feeding the goats and being chased by the runaway sheep. He REALLY loved hanging out with his new best friend Olivia on the hay ride and chatting up "Wookie" the shorn alpaca on the bottom right. Anything Star Wars-related always increases the fun factor by 3000% for him. Sadie absolutely cackled through the entire water park but was a little more hesitant about the baby goats nibbling her fingers. It didn't stop her from putting her chubby little fingers through the fence though! She mostly enjoyed snacking on the strings of her sun hat which kept her occupied while the bigger kids played.
Here's Baby Sadie learning cause and effect from the water sprinklers. She was mesmerized and spent a long long time covering the holes and then being surprised all over again when it would spray her in the face! She isn't crawling yet but she can certainly scoot around to get whatever she desires!


This year there was a new bubble area that Eamon adored. He spent quite a while slipping and sliding around the gigantic bubble bath, scooping up the bubbles and trying to pop them!
