Visiting a Farm

My kids' Spring Break is the same as the immediate school district, but a week off from most of the other neighboring school districts. This means with a short drive, we can find great activities that aren't crowded. I love Spring visits to a farm and this seemed like a perfect time.

 

We started by feeding the goats. This was very exciting and resulted in lots of smiles, laughs, and "maaaaa"s. 

My kids tried walking to a different part of the pen to feed other goats... this goat was not ok with that. haha

Big goats, little goats, many different colors of goats. Nothing could be better than feeding goats, except...

Feeding an outdoor guinea pig?

A tractor ride. Notice the way they look right into the camera ignoring the tractor to make the perfect photo. Yeah, right.

 

A maze? This is a great place to run!

 

I'm pretty sure this is the way out...

 

Maybe it's this way instead.

Then we went to see the farm animals you can't feed. Apparently this is a boy donkey. haha

Since the farm only had a three families visiting and no school groups, they let my kids each have another cup of feed and sent them back to the goats. It's like winning the lottery for two year olds.

Sand and Water

It's getting warm outside and we love playing outside. The kids have been begging to play in the sand and water.

It starts of simply enough. Sweet daughter digging in the sand, sweet son pouring water everywhere. 

Then they trade places. (Clearly this was a school day for Sweet Son and a Mommy Day for Sweet Daughter, based on their clothes.)

They were playing so nicely and ask politely if I would open up the big sand box. (Former baby pool)

Within 3 minutes, this is what sweet son looked like. You can't see the sand in his hair, but I assure you it is covered as well.

They never sat in the sand box or laid down in it, yet somehow they end up fully covered in sand.

It's more difficult to see on Sweet Daughter, but she is also covered. We ended up taking their clothes off outside, leaving the clothes to dry, and going straight for a shower. I remember why we don't do this more often.

Rules

"You can come check on me now, Mama. I'm following the rules." Sweet Daughter
"What were you doing before?" Me
"Climbing, hitting and not sharing." Sweet Daughter

At least she's honest.

 Boxes, a tunnel, and a tent make a great place to play and hide.
