A Beautiful Day

Saturday was simply a beautiful day.  It was mild & windy with limited appearances of the sun; but still perfect once you count discovering a terrific park, visiting with Poppy, and landing the deal of the century on a new range. 


The new gem of area parks is Kinder Farm Park.  It's a trek - located 15 miles from home - but houses the largest playground EVER smack in the middle of a working farm.  How cool is that?
Poppy was down for the weekend and I wanted to give Alex and Dad the opportunity to play together. The swings brought them endless joy.


And the 20' tube slides intimidated Alex at first, but she sure did enjoy it after watching a few "big" kids show her the ropes.
Yes Alex does have a black eye. She's not a scrapper, but gave herself one exiting a glider this week.




We walked around the farm and talked to several of the 4-H kids that care for the animals.  We saw 4 pregnant goats, several oversized rabbits (large enough to eat my friends' dogs Teddy or Sandy), sheep and their lambs, several talkative cows, and lots of fowl.  SImply stunning hens.


Dad almost lost a few digits to a young black cow.  I guess he failed to read the 40 odd signs posted at eye level that said not to stick your fingers into the pens!!!


There were plenty of rocks and roots to clamor, which are  as entertaining to a child as a good swing ride.  
Add sticks to list of top 10 entertaining objects found in nature.


Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend. Range Porn to come.

Love the outfit - a spring dress with jeans :)
Glad you had a good time at the park. It is refreshing for everyone to get out in the fresh air!

Great day, and great pics. Love the shoes on Ms. Leggedy in the swing! Can't wait to see the range. I'll gladly be your guinea pig for anything you want to cook on it. Unless you're cooking guinea pig, I guess.
