We were able to spend most of our time just at the farm hanging out together - eating food, playing games, sitting by the fire. We took June in the hot tun for the very first time, watched movies, and went to the Cincinnati Zoo festival of lights! They hadn't been in a couple years, so it was exciting to go all together. On top of that, Tracey bought a pass where all her grandkids and a couple adults can go for free for a year, so I know where we will be this summer! I'm super excited.
Thanksgiving Day was fun, too. Not too many people came over, so it wasn't too hectic and it was really fun to catch up with some of Jake's extended family. The best part was that June took a three hour nap during the time that we ate so I ate handsfree and then she woke up so happy. Everyone was wondering where she was and I was really surprised she was still sleeping, especially when it was so loud.
When she finally did wake up, Scott was the first one to hold her. Haha he sat her on the counter with him and gave her a biscuit to suck on. Too bad she has two sharp teeth and bit a piece off, started gagging, and she got a little scared. I ended up taking her outside by the fire so some other people could love on her. Then when she was ready for bed, she went down no problem. I guess there's something about Cincinnati or maybe all the stimulation that makes her so tired and sleep so well. I'm not complaining!
June and I were able to spend some time feeding the animals. She loved it, even though it was SO FREEZING. It was so cute bundling her up in beanies and jackets to make sure she was warm. She loves being outside, so it was obvious that she was going to love it. One morning when we were getting all the feed ready, a couple of the little pigs had gotten out and come to the garage (they know where the goods are) and as I was holding her, she was just straining her neck to look down so she could see these creatures walking around on the ground. She was mesmerized! She also loved petting all the cats and the dogs, which was surprising to me. I'm always scared she is going to get scratched because babies are just rough with fur, but she really did pet them softly. Except for the one time that she pulled Harley's paw, but luckily Harley is used to that. I really love watching June explore at the farm; I can't wait until she can walk around and actually do some exploring!
Here are some photos we took over the week:
