A Trip to See the Cows

Carter and I decided we needed a break from the City so we grabbed Pops and headed to Alabama for the day to see Great-Grandmommy. GG turned 97 in May so it's nice to get the opportunity to see her when we can.

We were also excited to visit so Carter could run around with the cows. But first we hung out on the porch for a while and caught up with the family. Carter showed off his new climbing skills and jumped right up on the wicker love seat.
He found a fun toy up there too and loved banging it around to make "music".Carter only stays still for a while and the farm was calling so he decided to go explore!

After walking for a while, he saw something that caught his eye... moo cows. Carter pointed at what he wanted.And ran over to check them out.

Luckily Pops came to help Carter get over the barb wire fence (Pregnant mom wasn't even going to try that one).

Pops put Carter on the ground and he immediately walked right up to the first cow he saw. No fear for this little guy.Carter stared at the cow for a while and tried to pet him before turning his attention to the 20 or so other cows in the pasture. The cow wasn't quite done with Carter yet and gave him a quick sniff on the behind to see what this little creature was all about.
Completely unfazed, Carter headed off to say "Hello" to some more Moo Cows.He liked to run over to them...until he got pretty close and then he stopped and stared.

After greeting each cow, Carter decided to head inside to check things out. He found the boys bedroom and took a spin on Pop's old bed. Nothing has changed since Pops grew up in the house.Carter had fun asking about all the old decorations and playing with Pop's toys from the 50's and 60's (not sure those would past safety standards today!).

Carter then headed outside and told GG about all his adventures.

Soon it was time to grab a quick family picture and head back to the city.
It was a nice afternoon in the country and hopefully we can make it back again soon!
