Visiting Naomi and John

This is the second time we've gone downtown to visit friends in the core, but the first time around I didn't get a chance to snap any pictures.  This time I did remember, but I only had my cell phone, and I missed a whole bunch of very nice moments (my favourite is sitting on the bus all together).

Here are Magnus and Naomi patiently waiting to go outside:

Wrestling a hat at the TTC station:

At Riverdale farm (a city gem!)

John wakes up:

Sorry, no pictures of the animals!  In total we saw 1 horse, 1 donkey, 1 cow, 5 pigs, waterfowl, and a bunch of squirrels.  Magnus was both fascinated and nervous about the horse.  He didn't seem too impressed with the grunting/squealing brown pigs, and he rather liked the "white duck" - which was actually a goose… Karen and I think.

Magnus enjoyed the whole trip, including the ride up and down the Don Valley where he kept pointing out the big big trees.  He liked seeing Naomi again and freely offered her a precious gummi bear - and he grinned at John once.  He pushed his own stroller from Wellesley and Parliament down to the farm and throughout the farm visit.  During lunch, he spilled apple juice on himself and had a poop.  The Tim Hortons staff was nice enough to give us one of their red balloons and he enticed at least one customer to bat it around with him.  Although he begged Naomi to give the red balloon back to him he did not snatch.  And I think his absolutely favourite part, which he still talks about, is when he was allowed to show Naomi his gong-gong's car.
