Deana Rose Farmstead

I took Kyan to Deana Rose Farmstead for the second time this summer. His morning appointment cancelled so we decided to take advantage of this beautiful weather. It has been so perfect outside lately. We should have been going every single day this week. Anyway, I love taking Kyan to this amazing place. It is awesome to see his reactions and responses to all of the fun things that they offer (for free!). I tried to take lots of pictures since I have been a real slacker lately in that department. I was so proud of Kyan for wearing his hat nearly the entire time (first time all summer he's actually kept it on for more than two seconds).
There are lots of beautiful flowers, nature trails, and a butterfly garden for nice background...if I could just get Kyan to sit still for a few. They should totally invest in some straps like they have on grocery carts to put around on benches, rocks, etc. Hello??? I know I'm not the only mom who would appreciate that tremendously. I could photoshop out the straps. Or I could invent some short-term adhesive butt glue. Anyhoo...

Kyan was really interested in the animals. I couldn't hardly get him away from the bunny rabbits. He really liked the goats, but rather than touching them with his own hands, he would take my hand and make me touch them instead.
He also prefered that I feed them myself. Which was fine because they were a little aggressive this time. Maybe they hadn't had breakfast yet, but they were jumping all over me like hyper dogs.
He did awesome on the big playground by himself. I was really proud of him.
Kyan's favorite thing was probably playing in the water. He LOVES water. He would've stayed there all day.

He drove a big tractor.
Me and Ky taking a cheesy together picture. We had such a great time today.
Kyan is taking a break, having a snack and drink on a stump. Can you tell he is exhausted?
We will definitely be going back as much as possible...when the weather allows it anyway.

What a great place! I hope I can visit there sometime with you guys. I was just there in May and Kyan wasn't doing any of the play ground equipment by himself, he has really really progressed! You and Matt are doing an amazing job with helping him advance, thank you both. See you in three weeks.

Those are great pictures Andrea! Looks like such a neat place, I would love to take my boys. Maybe sometime when we get to come! Kyan is SO cute in those pictures. I loved them all. You are a good photographer!
