Ooh I like that: Rutledge-Wilson Farms

Entrance
This "Ooh I like it" Post is probably my favorite yet but a little different than usual. Different because it is a location but my favorite because not only is it FREE but it is something that keeps an 18 month old entertained for hours!!! It is a local spot called Rutledge-Wilson Community Park located off West Bypass and Sunshine. I am sure many of you have heard of it and been there but I am just now discovering how fun it is. It is a 207-acre farm park that has a beautiful barn, playground, lake and lots of animals and run-around space. It is directly off the Wilson Creek Trail so you could even bike there. My mom and I took Sawyer there Saturday afternoon and we quickly learned this would be a new favorite place to take him. We visited with every animal, he especially took a liking to the mini horse but was not a huge fan of the huge hogs. The farm-themed playground looks like another barn with climbing walls, slides and fun hidden tunnels. He did not want to leave, that was a struggle. We ended our trip by feeding the ducks on the lake. Since he had so much fun, John and my dad took him back Sunday to fish. We plan to check out their Fall Festival coming up in September because we hear it is awesome.

Baby Johnson's Nursery

Mommy & Daddy in Elliot's Room
John, Sawyer and me were finally able to come check out the progress Megan & Tim have made on Baby Johnson's nursery....better yet I should say "Elliot Ann's" nursery. She officially has a name!!! Megan was 30 weeks on Friday and so we brought over some pizza and got to check out the nursery. Sawyer loved playing with Elliot's toys. The nursery is adorable in grey with accents of emerald and  they decorated with maps and globes. It is almost completely ready for Mrs. E. I can't wait to meet her! This weekend is the shower we are throwing for Megan so I will be sure to post lots of pictures!
After checking out Elliot's room, we headed to the park in Republic (which is awesome by the way) to let Sawyer...or should I say, John & Tim....play.
The onesie we got for Sawyer's new BFF
"Yep, these will be just perfect for her!"
All the boys racing to see who could get the highest, even Sawyer is trying.
Weeeeeee!

Daredevils

ah, friends ready to catch each other
