While Tim was looking Garrett and I walked around the store. They had the Kayaks sitting on the ground and Garrett just had to try it out, LOL. Of course he also had to try out, the baseball gloves, and balls as well. What do you think?? A future Kayaker??
Today we headed about 5 minutes up the road to Buttonwood Farms. They have Ice Cream, Sunflowers, a real working farm and lots of other things to see and do. First things first though....a stop to Dick's Sporting Goods to pick up a new backpack. Our other backpack has had a good run but alas the stitching is coming apart and it's time for a new one!!

We finished up and headed over to Panera Bread for Linda and Garrett to have some lunch. When we were finished we headed over to Buttonwood's Sunflowers. They plant 3 different plots of land at different times so they won't all bloom together. This land was planted last as most of the other plots were dying. I've never seen anything like it!! They are so beautiful!! Garrett of course had a great time exploring and climbing the fences. Grandma looking out over the sunflowers. Family Poses :) Helping Dad before we head to the store. We loaded up and headed up to the farm location. Tim and I are actually on Vacation this week so we've made the decision to come off program for the week to splurge a little. I love what Dr. Anderson says about Stop, Challenge, Choose. Knowing that the choices we make are ours to make alone. After much deliberation we've both made the decision to enjoy our week off. We aren't going to go crazy, but we will be a little more lax in our eating habits for just this week :) So with that being said and with my Birthday being last week we are going to enjoy some Ice Cream. This place is known for having the best ice cream in the state of Connecticut. Yummy!! Heading up to get in line. Garrett was having a great time playing on the large rock in the middle!! After getting our Ice Cream, we headed up to the working farm to check out the cows. Garrett wasn't quite sure what to make of them and was afraid to touch them. They loved getting their heads scratched, LOL. Of course while on the farm, we had to go check out the Tractors!! Heading down to check out the Hayride. They weren't giving rides today but Garrett had fun checking it out :) He then had to go and sit in the cow barrels. Too bad they weren't running.....Garrett would have loved that!! Grandma enjoying the scenery. Getting ready to head back to the truck. He was pretty upset about having to get in his car seat to head back home. This place is AWESOME!! If you are ever in this area and need somewhere to go for Ice Cream or a good time on the farm, this is your place!!
