Picnic on the farm

My work has an annual Family Picnic at the Agricultural Hall of Fame in KC. I heard it was a lot of fun, so we made a morning of it this past weekend. The weather was great, it was sunny with a nice breeze, and we had a fun time. Colin is still taking 2 naps a day, but we vetoed his first nap by heading out to the picnic. Of course, Colin did just great, not crabby at all until about noon (let's face it, the kid probably had enough fresh air by then anyway). We saw lots of my co-workers and their families as well. Plus, Memaw was able to meet us there and join in on the fun! They had lots of different stations with a bunch of inflatable jumpers, race cars, games you could win prizes at (like a carnival), a live deejay, lots of food, a train, etc. Colin had tons of fun!

Our first stop was the bubble station. Colin just loves bubbles, although he hasn't quite got the technique down for blowing his own.

I am so glad Brian caught Colin doing this pose - he has been doing it a lot lately at home, just turning his head to the side and smiling so cute. Usually it comes just before he does something he's not supposed to do.

Colin's other favorite place - the ice bin full of waters. It was like he was fishing for bottles of water. How fun!

Caught one!

This was the Sand Works station, where we decorated a fish and a shark. Had to throw them away though, cause Colin kept trying to eat them. Yuck!

Our shark in progress - Looking good!

We let Colin have cotton candy - he loved it! Brian and I couldn't remember the last time we had cotton candy, so we had to help him eat it. Dig in!

Daddy and Colin on the mini-train ride around the Agricultural Hall of Fame. Colin loves looking around and checking everything out. He wasn't too fond of the tunnel the train went through, his eyes got HUGE and was definitely glad when we came out of the tunnel.

There was also an area where roosters and chickens were hanging around. He just loved looking at the animals and got so excited when they walked towards him.

Hanging out with a cow!

Stopped by a tractor on the way out.

We didn't realize his hands were getting covered in filthy black gunk while he was playing on the tractor. Luckily, none of it got on his clothes.

Our little guy on the way home. This really is something we don't see that often, he hardly ever falls asleep in the car. Must've been really wiped out!! What a fun morning!
