had an alright day. got up and mom made us cinnamon apple waffles. they were pretty darn tasty. i like waffles with lots of butter and chemical syrup. mom was all go go go this morning. she got me dressed and then made dad get dressed. we got out the door for 8am.
mom drove dad to work. he's got things to do and what not. bye dad, see you later. it's saturday morning and that means- yard sales. mom drove us around to a couple houses. we didn't really find anything good today. it's a holiday weekend so must people are doing other things. not many sales to visit. that's ok. mom and i had a nice drive around.
we got home and had a bathroom break. mom was all- do you want to go to a cane boil? are they making candy canes? i want to see candy canes. not quite, but there might be pumpkin frybread. I LOVE PUMPKIN FRYBREAD! so back in the car we went. mom drove us to morningside nature park. the place was packed. there were cars everywhere. we finally found a place to park. we walked through the woods to the olden times farm. i've been here before. last time we visited no one was around through. today there were loads of people and some were dressed in olden times clothes.
i walked around the farm with mom. we stopped to visit with the chickens. i saw one drinking water. chickens are silly. we saw some pigs sleeping in the dirt. all the sheep were inside today. i took a quick look at them. sheep are kind of smelly and not very smart. i saw some more chickens. i watched the digging around in the dirt looking for snacks. and lastly we visited with the cow. the cow is very big. mom tried to talk me into giving the cow some head scratches, no freaken way. i don't want to get anywhere near that thing. i don't care if all the other kids are touching it.
we walked around some of the buildings. we saw people building birdhouses and doing wood working things with olden time tools. we visited the blacksmith. he was just telling people how to make knives. we walked around the house. i saw ladies spinning wool, sewing quilts and using a weaving loom. in the kitchen one of the ladies was making biscuits. I LOVE BISCUITS! mom said they are not the english kind of biscuit but the american kind which is more like a fluffy bread. oh, i still will probably like those too. 
after all that walking i was pretty hungry so we got in line for the frybread/lemonaid lady. it was a very long line. mom and i stood in line for ages. the old guy behind us complained the whole time it was taking too long. i busied myself by running around in circles and bothering mom. she was hot from being in the sun so i made sure to stand extra close to her. finally it was our turn to order. mom got me some pumpkin frybread and a lemonaid for us to share. we had to wait for a bit while the frybread cooked. i sat on a stump and sucked down most of the lemonaid before mom had a chance to get any. haha. she only got a few sips. mom was not happy with me. we made a visit to the outhouse so i could have a pee break. that was kind of weird. there was a regular toilet over a big deep hole.
we walked back to the food tent and collected our pumpkin frybread. it just came out of the hot oil so it was too hot to eat. we walked around a little more. we stood and watched the sugar cane being squashed. they collected the juice and then the juice gets boiled down to syrup. not really exciting. i tried to talk mom into buying me a piece of cane so i could chew on it- no way. but but, that baby has one. no! booo. one of these days i'll get a candy cane.
we went over to see the chickens again. rooster was there. i talked to him in my best rooster voice. he looked at me. one of the hens came out to see what was going on and she looked at me too. mom and i ate the frybread and talked to the chickens. we walked along the fence and i almost got a big slobbery kiss from that cow. she stuck her nose through the fence and i almost ran right into it. i wasn't paying attention. doh.
so that was our day out. we saw everything there was to see. mom and i walked back to the car.
got home and now it's back to the future time. whooo-hooo.
