It was another 100+ degree day. Supposedly it was cooler on the farm, but it didn't feel like it. We were melting on our hayride into the fields.
Peter laid down in my shadow to try to hide from the sun. The fields in Arizona are nothing like what I'm used to in Iowa. They seem so much more dusty and barren to me, but then I'm used to the rich dark top soil of the midwest.
Peter liked to make silly faces at me on the hayride.
But he had fun. He liked to watch the tractor that was pulling us and say "hi" to the other people.
We even got to see some donkeys! They came right up to the fence to see us.
That was a real treat for Peter since he has been on a Shrek kick. One of the main characters is a donkey so it was really exciting!
After our hayride we just kinda played around on the farm. We got some garlic burgers and sat down in the shade under a bunch of trees. They had a band playing classic rock music that was pretty good. Peter ran around the yard hiding in tall grass and wildflowers. It was a great afternoon.
They even had some pet geese that the toddlers were trying to pet. While other kids would inch forward and try to touch them Peter just ran right up to them wanting to tackle the geese. They of course ran away pretty quick so he never got very close.
It was beautiful there and made me wonder if we could ever live on a farm. It was so peaceful and relaxing. And Peter had the greatest time enjoying nature and the simple things there. It was fun to watch him.
One of the highlights though had to be the horses in the petting zoo. Peter learned how to feed the horses hay. He had the biggest smile on his face watching them eat the food he was giving them.
I even got a fun video of him feeding them!
