farm country

as it got closer to our moving date, i made a list of things i wanted to do in Utah before left.
{we pretty much didn’t get through any of them}
but one thing i was really adamant about doing was taking Elijah to Thanksgiving Point and going to Farm Country so he could go on a pony ride.

you see, Eli LOVES animals!! especially horses.
so when i heard about Farm Country and that is was only a couple bucks for a pony ride, i was dead set on taking Elijah there before we left if it was the last thing i did!
[which it was the last thing we did before we left, ha!]

i found out that my good friend Gentri was going to be in town that same weekend {who i really really wanted to see before we moved} so we decided it was the perfect excuse to finally head up that way to see Gentri and then check out Farm Country.
perfect.day!!
{i miss you, Gentri!!}

 
Elijah loved that he could get close to pet this little pony
but he would TOTALLY FREAK OUT if the pony turned its head toward him and would run away.
it was kind of the funniest thing ever!

and i’m pretty sure i was more excited about Elijah’s pony ride than he was.
he treated it as if he was just on a regular carousel ride.
so ungrateful… :)

 
 
[this sweet baby calf was born that same morning!]

oh Utah, we do miss you at times!
