"On the Road Again

. . . just can't wait to get on the road again." On second thought, I most definitely can wait!

At our first stop, our little Mickey found a payphone and loved it! He talked and talked on that thing for quite some time before we finally got him pulled away to burn of some of his energy. Then he goes and tries to stick rocks up the water pump - fantastic! Following this, we traveled through Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York (not necessarily in that order). A very special thanks to all those who hosted us along the way - Rob & Whitney, the Coloradudes, the AFchemists, and the Show-Me-Ites (and mom and dad J along with Gpa and Mimi H who hosted us during our homeless period).

 A few stops and a couple days later, we were able to go to a Young's Dairy Farm with our AFchemist family/friends. What an awesome trip! The food was great (best Mickey ate on the whole drive), activities were fantastic for energy burning, and the ice cream was especially lovely. Of course, the company was wonderful too!

Our little one would not let us leave with out giving him a ride on the cow.

ATV-drawn train ride. Mickey didn't want to stay in after he saw some geese he wanted to chase.

Our little squadron. Watching the men get in and out of the barrels was hilarious!

Driving a tractor with his new friend.

Colored milk containers! Trying to get a good picture of them both was tricky.

Both so cute anyway! Even if they won't look at the same time!

Goats! Lots of goats (and many of them very pregnant). Mickey loved running up and down the fence, pausing at each goat to pet a few times before running to the next one. The video is flipped sideways (sigh), so feel free to tilt your head to watch if you wish. If not, the picture below will have to suffice.

 We also got to feed some kids (of the goat variety - not the human ones), and see cows and a pig. What a great place to visit (special thanks to the AFchemists for taking us there).

Unfortunately, we had to leave after a short visit and continue on our trip. The Mr. and I were incredibly surprised at how wonderfully Mickey traveled. He was such a trooper!

Playing with the board (his) Gpa J helped make.

Some light reading from Uncle B-jeep

And trying his hand at fishing!

It was a crazy month or so, and we are so glad to have a home to settle into for the summer now!
