Walking on Campus and the Farm

Last week on one of my days off we decide to go to Purdue and have lunch. Courtney and I got gyros from The Parthenon and they we awesome. Aedan had a happy meal from McDonalds. We sat done by the engineering fountain. It was a warm enough day for us to run near the fountain. You can no longer run through the fountain as there is a ten foot metal cylinder that shoots the water up . It still pretty cool.


Aedan thought it was pretty cool and wanted to keep running through. But It was cold water and he didn't really want to get wet by cold water. After the fountain we went to the newer Armstrong Building, the have a replica space shuttle and a moon rock, it's a nice looking building. We also went to the Union and boy have they changed. There are a bunch of new eating areas there. Before it was a pizza place, pappy's a smoothie place and the oasis. Now in addition to Pappy's and the smoothie place, they have a coffe shop, mexican eatery, a flatbread place, a little market, a cereal stop, and a asian noodle place. It looks really nice. It seems everytime i go back(i know the long 5 mile drive to campus) something is new or different.

When it gets nice out we like to go to Uncle Bob's farm. Now it's not your normal farm they don't grow any cash crops. They do have garden out there. They do have some animals, donkeys, goats and some llamas. They have a firepit, a teepee, cabin, walking trails, a hammock(i fall out of), tables for eating and a working bathroom(outhouse). So it's the closest thing to a farm that i've ever been on. It always a reaaly good time when we go.

This first pick is of Aedan riding Jimmy the donkey. Jimmy is the nicest donkey you could meet. No I dare you go try and find a nicer donkey it won't happen. This is Aedan on jimmy thinking he runs the place. This time we took Aedan's daycare out to the farm. The daycare came out last year to the farm and had a good time. So we invited them out to see the young,because there not babies anymore, donkeys. We had a picnic with Hotdogs and hamburgers and at the end we made some smores.
The final picture is Ella on my lap eating a cookie. She seems to be a real messy eater.

I need to take the time to just go over to Purdue and walk around sometime. I haven't done that for soooo long. You always make it sound cool.......My mom works in the Armstrong building - it's pretty cool. Has some cool labs and such.....mucho dinero in that building!
