A Farm and A Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday Mallory and I went with some of our play group friends to Old McDonald's farm. Mallory was NOT interested in any of the animals to pet. I took her in to pet the pigs and all she wanted to do was hang on and shake the fence. They had pony rides too, but when I tried to put her on the pony she stiffened up her legs and made it clear that she was not going to have any part of that. Even if she wasn't crazy about the animals, we had a fun time getting out with our friends. Mallory's favorite parts were the swings and the slides. Give her a slide and she is happy for hours.

After she slid out of this swing, I realized she was in it backwards. Her legs should have been through the holes with the chain behind her. Now we know.

Her friend Troy liked to slide too. They were both very eager to get to the top.

Mal loved this fort! It had this ladder that led up to a big dirt floor to run around on and look over the side. There was a slide on the other side to get down. Some bigger kids were playing on it too. One of the older girls was pretty much climbing over Mallory to get to the top. When I went to help Mal out, I her going "Ya Ya Ya Ya" or something like that. I'm not sure what her word was, but she was letting the other girl know that she did not like being climbed over!

Mallory was very excited about her pumpkin on the ride home.

But the excitement wore off very quickly!

Later that night, I went out with Monica while Matthew and Mallory headed to the local Pumpkin Patch with his mom and aunt. I think Mal had a lot of fun running around in all of the pumpkins. We took her to the same one last year. If you want to see how much she's changed since then, here's that post.

Bye!
