Darby Acres Farm

The sun finally came out for five minutes in March, so we made sure to GO OUTSIDE. We found the cutest place in Charlotte called Darby Acres farm. I thought Shepard would be fascinated by all the animals...he wasn't.
What he loved more than anything were ALL THE TRACTORS that he could climb on, plus a little stash of tricycles, big wheels, etc. I mean, there were BABY GOATS, y'all, and I couldn't tear him away from the plastic big wheel. He had fun anyway. There are lots more animals, but I was sticking with him...so didn't capture all of them on video.
This is an insanely long video, but it's fine. One day I'll be cherishing every second of video I took to remember the glimmer in his eyes, his voice and expressions.

Yee haw.

Monkeys and Elephants and Baby Giraffes, oh my!

We thought we'd take a leisurely trip to the Greenville Zoo on Black Friday instead of braving the malls and shopping centers. It was just about as crowded there since it was a beautiful 69-degree sunny day. We had lots of fun seeing the animals, playing on the playground, and hanging out with Melissa and Grandma.



Look at me! (thanks, Melissa!)

Monkey, meet my monkey.

Grandma is showing me the elephants!

This looked like a car, but now not so much...

Lions, what lions? I want a snack break.

Cheese!

Bamboo hill. Let's run up and down 14 times...ok? Ok.
