Green Tractor



I think we could have spent an hour in this tractor.  Unfortunately, there was a line and he had about 20 seconds.  He asked if we could come back next later....I assured him that we could!

Carousel Ride

Udderly Thrilled


There is a pretty long line to milk a fake cow.  However, Austin would have waited an hour to pull on the udders to see some water squirt out!

Mom, I wanna see a Rabbit


"Austin, these are rabbits."
"No, these are bunnies."
"Ooh, these are bunny rabbits.  Do you think one is the Easter Bunny?"
"Ummmm, no because these are in cages."

Milk that Cow


We FINALLY found a 'cow' to milk. Ever since we have started reading Old McDonald Had a Farm to Austin, he has wanted to milk a cow. It is very intriguing to him. This cow is not real, but the 'udders' are fairly realistic, and they squirt little streams of water. Austin could have milked for hours!

Lots of Berts


Austin loves a book titled, I Completely Know About Guinea Pigs, and it happens to be all about guinea pigs! He was thrilled to actually see some.

An interesting note about this situation is that he has never shown any interest in having one as a pet...NOT that I am encouraging it! However, he would like a mouse.

Rodeo Longhorn 2011

Austin is not happy about this picture. Let me explain...

This is a rodeo tradition for us (3 years now). We walk into the arena, there is the giant longhorn with the cute cowgirl handlers. At 10 months old, the ladies in line behind me thought I was crazy for putting my child near the animal. At 22 months old, Austin did what he did because I told him to. At 34 months old, Austin has a brain. He did not like this idea one bit...as you can plainly see (we have been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss lately)!

Dromedary Ride


Pink Butterfly


This year at the rodeo they have a butterfly enclosure where they have 5,000 new butterflies each day. It was incredible, and I really enjoyed it. The butterflies landed on you --they were everywhere. Austin was more in awe of the gigantic pink butterfly standing outside of the enclosure!
