E-I-E-I-O

We had a great day during Spring Break at The Old Mine Farm. It's pretty close to our house and an actual working farm. It reminded me of Wheeler Farm. We had so much fun, and the kids loved it.They each went for a pony ride.

Not quite sure what happened to this picture, it didn't upload correctly



We went for a hay ride



Had a picnic


Jonah kept gobbling to this turkey and it would gobble right back. He was having a great time playing copycat.



Bear was especially excited to see the bunnies



They gave us each a bucket of food to feed all the different animals all over the farm. Several goats were roaming free and they would come right up to be fed.


They had some weird looking sheep and a llama, tons of ponies, peacocks, pygmy goats, chickens, turkeys, and ducks

The little goats were so cute! And they had a bunch of brand new baby sheep. I love babies...





Baron decided to gather some eggs.... the chicken cages were filled with them.



These ducks were mean! I got a little to close and they started pecking at my legs. Jonah got daring and tried to feed them this way.


Daphne was a bit scared to feed anything. She sat and threw food into the cages.... and that's as close as she would get to any animal.



The had a moon bounce (ummm, it looked like a little farm on the outside, at least they stayed with the theme ;) and the kids jumped in it forever. It was a fun HOT day!
