Life on the Farm

For the past few weeks Camden has been plagued with constant ear infections. In order to keep all of us somewhat sane, we have tried to get out of the house and do "fun" things. So last week we went to a farm/pumpkin patch to try and occupy a little bit of time for all of us. There were plenty of fun things for Camden to do but instead he spent most of the time wanting to be held.

And seeing how he has a strong Dad that is willing to do that, even out in the heat, it worked to his advantage.

The animals caught his attention for a little while but were just a bit too stinky for the "city girl" in me.

So along those same lines of trying to occupy his time I decided to stick with non stinky farm type activities for my benefit.
And seeing how I had a bunch of extremely ripe bananas about to be tossed. We decided to bake some banana bread. Camden sampled the bananas while I let him smash them all over himself as well as everything around him. Yes it was a lot more messy with his help but hey, I accomplished what I needed to get done as well has entertained the cranky(rightfully so) one.

Very good idea! You can always clean up the kitchen right! Sometimes it is fun just to play and not worry about the clean up after...sometimes the clean up after is not so fun though...oh well!

I hope Cam is doing better, and not still fighting the ear infections! I grew up next to a feed lot, and got used to the smell, but after living in the city, I'm with ya on the stinky animals, they stink bad!
