App.le Festival

This is the third year I took Baylor to the App.le Festival. Ok, the first time I was pregnant but he was there.  Yaya, Buddy, and I took him last year and we had a good time but this year we had a great time!   The weather was perfect and with Baylor being older, he just had a great time.  There was so much for him to see and we tried to see it all. The first exciting thing we did was ride the school bus.  He is fascinated by the buses. When we got to the festival we saw the put-put motors and the tractors. We asked if he could sit on a tractor and the nice man let him even though they usually don't let anyone sit on them.  He really enjoyed that and we took and nice photo of him with my parents.  Buddy is holding his face at the camera but other than that it was a nice shot.  We went to the petting area and saw Dixie the 750 lb pig, a calf, sheep, and goats. Baylor rode on Buddy's shoulders and decided it must have been a good view because he was not trying to get down,  We went to where they have hay rides and Buddy was talking to the tractor owner about the John Deere.  Dad grew up on the farm so the sound of a tractor running is like music to him.  Dad asked him if Baylor could sit on the seat and he also said yes.  After that we took the hay ride in a red wagon.  Baylor did not say a word the whole time he was just taking in everything that was going on.  After the hay ride we stopped by the pony rides and he rode the small pony and did so good. After he processed everything he would start jabbering about it. We rode the school bus back to the parking area and while we were walking to the car, he was turning around waving Bye to the bus and Bye Bye to the other bus.
