Farm Country



Saturday, OP and I took the kiddos out to Thanksgiving Point's Farm Country. So much fun, and not too bad of price... good way to spend the day!

Porter, Pipes and OP loved petting all of the different farm animals; the goats, horses, ponies, cows, sheep, etc. Adi and I weren't so enamored with the ides- I hid behind the camera and Adi just kind of hung back, looking at the grass and the barns. Poor little city girls! I did snap a pic of Adi petting the one thing she didn't mind touching:

And you can see how thrilled she is about it :)

Porter's favorite part? The "Mooooos!" or cows, if you don't speak Lil' Man's language. As soon as he saw them he took off at full speed toward them, mooing all the way. Orrin had to keep grabbing him because he repeatedly tried to climb into the stall with the Jersey.


The kiddos even got to feed the animals. Once again, Porter and Piper loved it, while Adi got about a foot away from the pony and then just threw all the dried corn on the ground at her feet and squealed. Piper picked the food up and fed it to the poor, starving animal. Everyone within view had a good ole laugh over that one!


*Sigh* We always knew it would come to this...


We convinced Adi to do a pony ride. She wasn't exactly thrilled, but she didn't jump off the pony either.



Porter rode also, but he was so concerned about the riderless pony behind him that I don't think he even really enjoyed it.


Our little cowgirl, however, ate it up. She even tried no handsies (until Mommy told her she was going to fall into the horse droppings):


It was a good day.

Cute pictures and sounds like a fun day!! Maybe you should get Porter some cowboy boots and spurs so he will be ready the next time he goes to the farm! He sure is a cutie and so are the girly girls!!!

I love farms!! :) I used to do tours at Wheeler Farm to little kids on field trips. It was one of my favorite jobs of all time! I think that I've said that before but that's kind of where I'm at in life - I say the same stories over and over and over again and I don't remember that I have, lol....

Oh well!!

By the way!! I want to come and see you sometime, Court! I haven't seen you since 10th grade! It's been 10 years or something! Is that bizarre!?! I mean, you have kids, woman, KIDS! lol They talk and walk and say funny things and that takes a while and I haven't seen you in that whole taking of a while! How wrong! We should meet up sometime, woman :)

I like how Adi is riding the pony and the Piper and Porter both rode horses! Looks like you guys had a fun day.
