We spent last weekend visiting family in Kansas City! We got into town Friday afternoon, before our room was ready, so we hit the hotel pool. Nola loves to swim and actually floated by herself- in her lifejacket. Pretty exciting stuff for a 3 1/2 year old!
We went to dinner with some friends on Friday night at our favorite restaurant. They have a little girl who is about a year younger than Nola. A year must make a difference because she behaved a lot better than our child. Nola has been a little crazy ever since she turned 3 1/2. She refuses to listen and likes to run away, which was really fun when you're in public. The only time she was clam at dinner was after she ran out on the street and saw a street magician. We stood and watched him do magic until Nola got upset because he hadn't asked her to be his assistant. Sad day.
On Saturday we hung out with my grandparents. We had breakfast then headed to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead. The Farmstead is a huge place with animals and activities. Nola ran around from one place to another and we just sort of followed her. She got to ride a pony, pet a cow, milk a bucket, and feed a baby goat- and lots of other fun farm things!
The best part was when she fed the goats. She said she wanted to do it so we got her a bottle and walked through the gate. The goats charged her, which I'm sure was terrifying, so I took the bottle with Nola's hand and stuck it into a goat's mouth then walked away. Nola screamed the whole time she was feeding them and I just laughed because I'm a terrible person.
We had dinner then Old Buddy, Nola and I took a walk around the lake near their apartment. A woman with a cane passed us on the path then Nola found a stick and mimicd her. It was pretty funny.
On Sunday we had brunch with more family- Grandma June, Pudge, Aunt Dawn and Courtney. We laughed a lot a ate delicious food! And Nola was crazy- did I mention she's been a handful lately?!?
The best part of the weekend was watching Nola fall in love with Old Buddy. She wasn't sure about him when she was a baby but she sure likes him now! She's been talking about him non-stop since we got back and it melts my heart. We love you Old Buddy!
