The girls and I spent a fun and relaxing day at the farm.  For ththe longest time I had been humming and hahing about taking the girls there but when I finally told Jessa about going;she said this is going to be so fun!!!! Day day loves animals.  And then I thought to myself duh! She does love animals!

When we got there the girls were so excited that they spent s lot of the time just taking everything in. We walked over to the petting farm and Adaya, miss fearless, was mower than happy to stare at the animals and watch what they were doing.  Jessa likes to think things through. Both girls warmed quickly to little bunny Oreo and over the course of the afternoon they were brave enough to feed the goats and bunnies hay, and to chase after the chickens.  Since the farm ain't actually officially open for the public we didn't have to pay and when the tour groups left we had the farm to ourselves.  The girls played in the dirt piles and played on the various parks that are around.

I was so impressed with Jessa as she decided she wanted to play on the bouncy animals that in the course of her play she had lined up the animals by category and colour.  I asked her if she had done this on purpose or if she just lined them up... It as neat to see a glimpse into the way her mind works.

As a treat to end the day we went and got quick sips from the gas station. The back story?  I decided one day to treat the girls to a slurpee... Because I know they aren't good for you I bought a small one for us all to share.  The girls of course were bickering over whose turn it was to have a drink.... So I made it into a game of quick sips.  Each girl would have a quick sip turn and pass it around.  It quickly turned into a game of who could drink the most the fastest and the girls really enjoy having quick sips as a treat!

It was such a nice and relaxing afternoon that it made me grateful for Heavenly Father's creations.  Both the girls and I can't wait until we can go back and enjoy the quietness and sacred time to enjoy being on the farm.
