Pony Poop

DSC09849Right before we headed over to the hiking trail, Randall stopped to ask us, “Can I ride the thing I saw yesterday that I didn’t ride?”

“Are you talking about the tractor?”, we were puzzled. We were not even sure if his “yesterday” actually meant “last time”

“No! Not the tractor!”, Randall started to get frustrated.

“Does it have wheels?”

“No!”

It went back and forth like this a few times and Randall was so upset that he couldn’t get himself understood. Then, finally, I remembered. “Is it a pony?”

“Yes, a pony!”

We continued onto the trail after I explained to him that to ride the ponies we had to sign him up for the farm classes first. While on the trail, we ran into some animal feces which we told Randall must have been left by the ponies. The little guy then commented, frowning, “Ponies can only poop in the water.”

Pumpkins

Randall has been talking about going to a pumpkin patch since our last farm trip. And yes, here we are, surrounded by pumpkins! In the end, though, those muddy puddles turn out to be the center of attraction. The corn maze is fun, too!

A day at the beach

We have just moved here a month ago. Now it’s already too cold to go into the water. Still it is nice and beautiful here by the lake, and the weather feels just alright with the warm sun and the delightful breeze. To make this day even better, Randall is wearing a hat he and mommy made together the night before. Well, let’s just not talk about how it falls into the water in the end.

The Evergreen State

We’ve come to a place with beautiful lakes, endless green of forests and totally unpredictable weather. And now we are taking Randall back to hiking. He seems better at accomplishing the trip by himself, with “occasional” need for snacks to keep himself motivated:)
