Wagon ride at Green River Farms - it was pulled by a tractor up into the hills where had gorgeous views of the valley. It was a drizzly and chilly day though! My mom was a brave Arizonan and toughed it out... it helped that she got some great thermals before heading out here! Oh, and let me tell you, it's quite a gymnastic feat to get that jacket zipped up over my belly!
Eli of course loved the petting farm. He learned to say "yama" (llama) and he loved the baby chicks. Best of all, he got to pet a cat! He calls cats "me'ams" for "meow" and loves to get close but has never been brave enough to pet one.
And the hi-light of the day? Eli ate an apple. As in, the ENTIRE, WHOLE piece of fruit. He has never wanted to even try taking a bite from a whole apple before, much less one dripping juice down his arm. As part of our day on the farm we got to pick apples again, and I guess between the adventure and his revved up appetite from the cold, the apple looked great. He devored it - core, seeds, and even stem (I had to fish that out of his mouth). We brought home three huge bags of apples and he looks forward to getting one everyday (though often now he takes a few little bites and is finished). They are the perfect size for his little hands!
