We're Back!

I apologize for the blog hiatus.  It's been busy around here, and Mom hasn't felt like getting her laptop out and uploading pics for a while.

A few pictures from our trip to Vermont over April vacation.  It was NOT spring like weather, unfortunately, but Connor still got to help Grammy decorate the tree with Easter eggs.















Then we hit up the ECHO center on Lake Champlain and saw lots of snakes, frogs, turtles, and fish.  Connor loved it, but would get fixated on ONE thing he wanted to see and wouldn't want to move to see anything else.  I think his favorite was the snapping turtle and the special tunnel he could crawl under to see more turtles and fish.  At one time, there was a larger woman in the tunnel when Connor was trying to get in behind her.  He put his hand on her butt to try and balance himself, then realized he wasn't going to get in and says "nope... too big" to the lady.  I don't think she heard him, but I quickly grabbed him and took him far away from her.  Funny now, embarrassing then!




 On Friday we went to my cousin's house to see her mini farm.  She has four horses and some baby chickens.  Connor was in his glory.  He loved the horses, and the horses loved him!  Most of these pictures are with Walker, the Morgan.  I think Walker thinks he's a dog, because he was very cuddly and probably would have sat in our laps if we let him!

After the horses we saw the chickens, and Connor loved them, too!  The chickens weren't tiny, I'd say they were "toddler" chicks, so we let them run around a bit.  Connor was fascinated.  He kept running back to them!  He also loved playing with his cousin, Sarah.  Sarah is four and loved playing with Connor.  They ran, played on the swingset, and jumped on the trampoline.  They had a blast!




















 Connor and Grampy played a little baseball on the one sunny day we had.  I think Connor has a little work to do, but he had a blast playing.
Grampy also took Connor to the fire station to see the firetrucks.  Connor was thrilled that he was able  to sit in the driver's seat and "drive" the firetruck.
