Picnics and Farms

Since the weather has been so nice these last few weekends we decided to spend them outside.

A week ago we went down to the Jordan River Parkway and had a picnic. We brought along Will's tricycle and Paul helped him learn to ride it.


Will liked the water but was mad when we said that he couldn't go into it.

We walked a long way along the river. Most of the time Will had the lead.

Once we were finished with our hike we had lunch. It was Will's first outdoor picnic.

This last weekend it cooled down again, but the sun was still out, so we decided to go to Wheeler Historical Farm.

Will liked the horses.

He also liked the big tractors.

Bunnies!!

These pigs were big enough that Will could ride them. They are raised by the local FFA chapter.

Will wanted to pet the little goats.

Paul set Will up so that he could "drive" the equipment.

The geese were out in the canal. Will wanted to get a closer look, but Paul made sure he stayed dry.

It's funny how little children's minds work sometimes. We showed Will the Turkeys. He kept calling them chickens because that's what he knows.

This big rooster was sitting by the barn crowing away.

This is the ice pond. The ducks, geese, and seagulls were out in force. There was another family there feeding bread to the birds. Will liked watching them swim around after the food.

Paul put Will on his shoulders so that he could see the pond better. It was funny because he kept playing with Paul's ears.
