Young McBella Had a Farm

Daddy surprised his girls today with a family outing to the Sacrewell Farm in Petersborough. It was a beautiful day. Although cold and crisp, the sun was so bright and cheerful. It was so refreshing to have to dust off my shades and actually use them for a change. Plus, Bella got to pull hers out, too. The farm was so adorable. Bella enjoyed all of the animals except she just doesn't enjoy being outside in the cold...period. If she had it her way, I don't think she would ever go outdoors until Spring and Summer.

Her new favorite word is "duck" so when she saw the ducks, she was excited to be able to use it.....and when she saw the chickens....and when she saw the roosters.....and when she saw the birds in the sky....all "ducks". She also got real excited when she saw the donkey and the sheep. She's not too into horses, which is cool because maybe she won't ever ask for a pony.

After seeing all of the animals, we went on a tractor ride around the perimeter of the farm. It was a little breezy but Bella got a little snack of Cheezits so she was content. It was beautiful to see the rolling farm lands and blue sky. Plus, there was still a little snow on the ground, which added to the beauty.

Later we had lunch in the restaurant and visited the gift shop,of course. Bella's latest interest is cars. So, we found the cutest tractors. As soon as I found them, I gave them to her and she sat in the middle of the floor of the store and started playing. She scoots them around and makes vroom vroom car noises...its so funny. Once we got her up off the floor, she found the huge selection of stuffed animals. Uh-oh I knew we were in for it. She pulled out the sweetest lamb and started to take it to daddy. Deja Vu! Daddy made her put it back and I was waiting for the tantrum....waiting....waiting...waiting.....waiting.....silence. She just walked away. What a good girl. We made it out of the store without another stuffed animal nor a tantrum. It's a miracle! What an absolutely perfectly blessed day!
