Alyssa and I decided to enjoy a gorgeous fall day and take Declan to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead. Over the past 20+ years, it's changed from a small park to an amazing little touch of country in the city.
Alyssa & Declan heading into the Farmstead.
The geese are resting in the cool shade, it was easily in the mid-70's by this time.
Declan and his new favorite toy. Plastic measuring spoons. Yes, folks, you read that right.
Goats, goats, goats everywhere. I would not like them here or there, I would not like them anywhere. Channeling Dr. Seuss! In spite of this sweet little goat wanting to nibble on my skirt, they were cute, cute, cute, with bulging tummies. (More about bulging tummies coming your way soon.)
Alyssa bought Goat Chow, so the goats all chased, followed, tugged at and jumped on her.
Declan still chewing on his spoons.
Hi Declan! Mema loves you, you are so cute!
Snack time! Now, no one get jealous, but Declan's got himself a banana to gnaw on in that little mesh bag.
"Ew, maybe someone else would like it", he muses silently.
"I'm not too certain about this banana business."
"Yuck...."
"I'm trying to like it....", he vows.
"How about an In-n-Out Burger right here on my tray??"
Trying out the stroller as a teething ring.
Declan, ready to move on to something different.
Hi Declan, you are such a good baby!
Seriously, darling! You are surrounded by nature, soak it up, let it inspire you.
This is a pen of pregnant goats. About thirty of them, to one baby daddy.
Hello, are you Baby Daddy?
Or is it you? (We had to be discreet with the baby there, so didn't check out anyone's "junk".)
Hi Declan!
Big boy on the fence, pretending he can do it all by himself.
No! Please don't eat the daises! (name that movie)
Standing proud amongst the flowers.
Going for another snack.
Bottle time = sleepy time. Wait for it.
...And there it is folks, just as predicted.
Declan had nature thrust upon him and he lived to tell the tale. And what better way to end the morning than a milk coma?
