While the Cat's Away...

Derek left very early Thursday morning to be in a wedding in California, so Davis and I have been partyin' it up!  On Thursday we went to NC State's annual Farm Animal Days event, where we got to see farm animals and tractors up close and personal.  Davis loved it and now I think we are going to need to live on a farm one day.  Hey, if we hit the $500 million jackpot, we might just be able to make that happen!

Rabbits are AWESOME!

Davis kept saying, "See cow," all day after we came home.

He liked this one because it looked like the Chick-Fil-A cow, I think.

The only animal I could get him to touch, a baby goat.  I wish we had one of these at home!

Today, we picked up my friend Elizabeth ("Biz-a-beh") and went to the Life and Science Museum in Durham for the first time.  I've been wanting to take Davis for a long time, and he had such a good time.  After four hours, I had to convince him to leave because I was getting tired.  I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I wanted, as I'm dealing with a (quickly) moving target, but I think I caught a few highlights.

The butterfly area was definitely one of the best parts of the museum trip...for us, not for the butterflies.  Davis grabbed a butterfly by the wing before I could stop him.  I had to pry his little fingers open to get him to release the poor thing.  Fortunately the butterfly flew off (to live happily ever after, I'm sure).  Who would have thunk a 21-month-old could be so quick?

Checking out the duck 

Too cool for school

More farm animals!

Elizabeth couldn't resist touching the donkey.  Davis has been working on his "hee-haw" ever since we left.

The outdoor drum set was probably D's favorite part. 

"This is like mom's pots and pans, but WAY better!"

Pumping the well.  Gonna need this skill when we live on a farm one day.

We have had two busy and fun days so far, but we sure miss Daddy and are ready to have him back home!
