A Day at the Farm

Last weekend we went to Shetler Farm for their annual Open Barn. What a perfect day! It was sunny, low 70's with a cool breeze...who could ask for better?

The Kidlet was able to pet a cow


MP3 saw his first turkey and yelled, "Cluck!" Not bad, kid. Not bad at all.


But then he tried to touch the turkey. Luckily Daddy got his fingers out of there before they became turkey feed.


They had a nice hay maze (minus the boys running around on top of the hay. Where were their parents?).


MP3 loved chasing his sister through the maze!


He loved finding her even more!


The Kidlet and MP3 having fun together! Isn't it sweet?

For a small fee they had a pony ride. Even though the Kidlet has never been on a horse/pony/etc. she insisted on getting on and off by herself. She did a great job and (I believe) had a wonderful time!

Waving at his sister while she rides a pony.


Don't worry, Buddy! You'll be able to get on a pony someday, too!


MOOoooOOOOooo!


There were name cards at each milking station. This cow is appearantly named "Carla." Interesting...


A quick rest stop before hiking back to the car!
