A Day at the Farm

One of my favorite places to take the kids is to Green Meadows Farm.  I love it so much that I bought us annual passes.  Steve does not like going there because it is too hot and messy, but I love animals and I don't mind that kind of mess.

Learning the right way to pet a goat from brother

Olivia giving it a try.  Nice goat.

Steve is out of town this week and I try to keep the kids as busy as possible.  I checked the weather and today was the coolest day.  So, after school we went straight to the farm!  It was Olivia's second visit and I was so proud of her.  She was much more timid with the animals just a month ago, but she had no fear going up to pet all of the animals.

So proud of William for being so good at holding a chicken.  Those suckers are hard to catch and he did this all on his own

Llama!

Of course, Olivia did also pick up some goat poop.  So, there's that.

The dogs really did not want to be petted, but they were nice about it.  They were just trying to relax in the shade.

It was a solid two and a half hours of outside time where the kids could roam free and really enjoy being outside.

Will and Olivia both got to ride the same horse named Topper

Will would pet Topper the whole time and would talk to him "You're a good horsie, Topper"

Olivia was such a big girl.  No one helped her, really.  She just held on all by herself

She would say "Good horsie"

I wish this one would have turned out better

I couldn't get her to look at the camera

On the choo choo.  Will always like to sit in the caboose

Olivia got to pet a "bunny hop"

These were nice sheep
