Today the boys tried to kiss a turkey. Really guys? Of all
the animals on the farm? The ones with the beaks? Turkeys are nasty looking.
Their faces look like they're missing a layer of flesh-- like they're showing
off their muscular, nay, even their skeletal systems for the world to see. Good
thing they're downright delicious with potatoes and gravy (yes, I said nay).

Smooch |
This week the weather has been frigid. Very
January. But not
today. No winter coats, no mittens, no hats. Just sweatshirts. We practically
needed sunblock. So we headed off to a little farm that's a couple minutes
away--
Frying Pan Park. (Plug for Reston: I LOVE LIVING HERE. There are so many
different
types of things to do in the area.) I think the boys loved it more than they
ever have the other times we've gone. We went with friends and no one even fell
in manure or pissed off a large cow or asked about exposed reproductive
system parts on a horse or anything.
So, I wanted to share a few pictures and revel in the sun
and non-January-ness of today and make you jealous if it's cold where you live.
To top it off we came home and had a picnic on the balcony without sweatshirts. We did not eat turkey.

For some reason all the kids thought this goat was hilarious. I did not. |

Ava and Cal poke the corn on the cob in the corn crib. |

More turkey kisses |
I love the title of this blog post. The turkey was equally interested in the kids as the kids were with the turkey! what a fun afternoon.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! I think the turkey may have actually wanted to kiss them. He was smitten. It was a very fun...so good to see you and the twins!
