Great Grandma's Farm

This weekend we made a fun trip to Scott's Grandma's house in Newark, OH. It's always a fun time to visit with family and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Scott loves going to Ohio and I have grown to love it too. This weekend we went out there for a reunion and Levi had an especially enjoyable time on Great Grandma's farm. We told him about a week and a half ago that we were going and he talked about it every day until we finally went! He would try to talk me into going to Great Grandma's house everyday. He'd say, "Wanna go to Great Grandma's farm? Okay?" Little turkey! He loves farms, tractors, farm animals, and anything to do with farms! I think it must be in his blood. Scott gets a little anxious, feverish, or passionate when he talks about farming or his grandparents farm. There was one point in his life that he and I seriously talked about him farming for a living. I still think deep down that that is a passion of his. And it's in Levi too.

When we got to Great Grandma's Farm, the first thing he wanted to do was see the chickens. We had to say hi to Grandma first and then we got her mail. But then finally, he got to see the chickens. He helped pick all the eggs and daddy even held one of the chickens for him to touch. I told him to go pick one up, but they were running from him. He kept saying, "they're going away, mommy." Later, he would go and help feed the chickens some bread.

After a little while, he got to go see the cows. He loves cows. I mean really loves cows. Why? I don't know, but he does. For a while he wanted to be a cow for Halloween. Then I talked him into being a farmer and Mallory can be a cow and he could feed her hay. He really likes this idea...we'll see what really happens!

Overall we had a great trip! We got to visit with family and enjoy the reunion. And Levi really enjoyed the farm. On Sunday, Scott walked him around the farm and he got to see more things. I was relaxing in the house. Ah, that was nice. It was only a few hours, but it was better than nothing! Can't wait to go back! ;-)
