Down on the farm

Friday was going to be our camping day, but the weatherman kept calling for rain and a high of 56 degrees, with more rain overnight and a low of 38-yikes! So, we cancelled and Scott went to work instead. This left me with a full day and no plans. We made a few calls and planned a trip with Claire's good friend Chandler to head out to Purina Farms for their Easter village. I have never been there. Scott's parents took Claire when she was a little peanut. It was a long drive and I took the risk that maybe my big kids were too big now for this little outing, but it was a risk I was willing to take. So we piled up and headed out west to the farm!

Here is Claire and Chandler on the wagon ride.
Here is Emma, the animal whisperer with her lamb friend. He did seem to really like her :) This was in the Easter village portion where they had a lot of baby animal to see and pet. There were also bunnies, chicks, pigs, cats and dogs.

They all got to have a few turns on the rope swing that flings you over a large pile of hay.

Here is Sam with a big grin on his face after just coming through some of the many climbing tunnels.

And to top it all off the Easter Bunny was even there! It was a fun day. They probably won't need to go again as they were probably too old for a lot of it, but it was still fun. They especially enjoyed the dog show where Claire was chosen to be a volunteer for the doggy basketball game. The dogs had lots of impressive skills like basketball and frisbee. We tried frisbee with Blitzen when we got home, but no luck!

Afterwards we went to McDonald's for a free kiddie cone. It is just the right amount. Everyone was happy for the car ride home.
