Bubba and Grandpa come to visit

Mason's Bubba and Grandpa drove down to visit and we went to the Urbana Sweetcorn Festival. Last year, they had a petting zoo that Mason was too little to enter, but the animals were a no-show this time. Instead we just ate.

Mason devoured some fruit, a corn dog, and parts of several ears of corn.

The next day we went to the orchard to see the animals and eat some donuts.

Mason really likes the barn cats. Too bad I'm allergic.

The big excitement was a group of ponies walking in a circle. Mason didn't want to ride them at first. Before we left, he changed his mind. So his grandpa brought him into the ring to pick a pony to ride. Then it wasn't such a good idea anymore.

Tom was very patient. He held Mason and walked around with the ponies for a few rounds. Eventually, Mason did get on a pony and seemed to like it.
