Deanna Rose

Now that the Farmstead (better known as Deanna Rose) is open, we made our introductory visit with Rylan this year. Last year, he went maaaaaaany times, but spent most of those visits asleep in the stroller. Today, he was barely content for long in the stroller -- so I let him out and he had the BEST time. It's such a joy to experience this old favorite through his eyes. You kind of forget how special the place is, until you see a little guy truly experiencing it for the first time.




Ry wandered around the water park tentatively at first, and then just sat right down in it..and rolled around.



In the goat areas, he clung to my knees as the little buggers tried to climb me in order to get to those little food morsels. Once the food was gone, and they calmed down a bit, he walked around excitedly...yanking on tails.




After seeing Kenzie go berzerk on these bells, Rylan took over.



And, the grand finale..a bomb pop. (another first for him). I ordered one and handed it Kenzie. Rylan squealed. He squealed again, and I felt it prudent to get him one too.
