Day at the Farm

One of our local "pretend" farms (I say that since they are more for the kids to enjoy then an actual working farm) is having a discount on Tuesdays this month. I thought that it would be fun to take Livy to see the animals.

You see, when I became a full stay-at-home-mom, I was determined that once a month I would take Livy out to a museum, the zoo or some other child friendly place. My intentions were good, but when I became severely ill and then became pregnant I forgot all about it. In making up for my slacking, the farm would be great.

A friend and I loaded up our kids and headed to the farm. But after sitting on the off-ramp for nearly 10 minutes (a ramp primarily used for this location) I figured it was going to be crowded, no parking, and too many out of control kids. We made a quick decision and headed back to the freeway to head to a different farm. With plenty of parking and very few people, I knew that this was a good idea.

Until I thought I was going to pass out from the heat. I don't do well in the heat when I'm normal and I'm even worse when I'm pregnant. I have made a mental note that the farm should be saved for Spring or Fall.

Livy on the other hand, had a fantastic time. In fact, every morning since she comes in and asks to go to the farm.
