We braved the heat on Saturday and I took the boys (sans Cliff... what was I thinking?) to the Strawberry Festival at Trax Farms. Poor Gabe was miserable from all the humidity and refused to get out of the stroller and do anything. All that changed when we got ready to eat some lunch and strawberry desserts of course! :)
"When are we hitting up the AC mom?"
Liam on the other hand had an absolute blast! There was a little train that Liam would have rode at least 100 times if I let him. Tried to get Gabe and Landon on, but no dice. They were content to watch big bro Liam driving the choo-choo. :) We hit up the petting zoo where we feed the goats bottles of milk and cups of grain. Liam jumped right into the pen (all by himself) and walked around feeding the goats. He's growing up so fast that little guy.

Landon was thrilled to check out the animals at the petting zoo. While Gabe sat chugging water in the stroller, Landon was petting the baby goats. He's scared to death of his Aunt Dani and Uncle Chuckie's lab, but is willing to pet a goat. Go figure! And then he spotted it... a puppy. Landon was busting out his duck run to get over there to check out the little puppy. He got right down there and was talking away. I had a smile from ear to ear! If we ever add a puppy to this family it will be all Landon's doing.

All in all I think the boys had a great time. Something different to do and new things to see. I was EXHAUSTED from keeping the boys comfy in the sweltering heat and manning the trip solo. But I'm so happy that I went. Seeing their little smiles makes it all worthwhile. :)
Nothing like balloons and sweet treats to end a fun day! (We had the balloons for approximately three minutes before all three were long gone.)
