Spring Break 2009: Relaxing at GDaddy & KK's Farm

Spring Break 2009 is here and we have a busy and fun-filled week planned! First of all, we headed "over the Red River and through the woods" to GDaddy and KK's farm for a long weekend.

These are some pictures from a visit over a year ago when the G (my car) was still with us and GDaddy was still working his magic with all of the landscaping.

Amity definitely remembered GDaddy and KK who were waiting with Lassie when we pulled up the drive. They whisked her inside and she didn't even shed a tear about being away from Mom and Dad which is quite unusual these days. As the weekend progressed, we were pretty convinced that she actually preferred being held by GDaddy and KK!
Life on the farm is pretty much sleep, eat, and play (at least while we are there) and that is how we like it. We attended church on Sunday and hung out at the house in the afternoon and evening. Amity really enjoys all of the toys that GDaddy and KK have inherited from their friends and family.
One favorite toy was this musical chair. We would place Amity in the seat and then she would very gingerly crawl out.
Apparently, my watching American Idol and Dancing with the Stars when I was pregnant has impacted this little girl with some natural rhythm and a love for all things musical. She will break out with some snazzy dance moves if she hears just the hint of music coming from anywhere nearby.

Sometimes, she likes to combine instruments to produce some newer, more exotic sounds!
On Monday morning, we visited the Amish furniture store where Dennis and I always like to dream about future purchases. Monday afternoon was spent outside with GDaddy's petting zoo (one collie, two beagles, some guinea fowl, some cows, and some horses). We are still learning the exact number and names of the guineas, cows, and horses!
Tuesday morning, we woke up, donned our green to prevent any merciless pinching, and said good-bye to GDaddy and KK. Thanks for a great visit!


After more than five hours in the car, Amity was still giggly! I think she likes her new seat!
