Spring Break's Trip to the Farm

I had 1 day off during Joe's spring break, and I wanted to do something fun. We originally planned to drive north a ways and go to a baby animal days at a farm. But Brek had been running a fever off and on for several days, and the warm weather was suddenly replaced by clouds and wind and small non-sticking snow flurries. So instead we decided to stay local and went to the Thanksgiving Point farm.

We had a good time, even tho it was pretty cold. First we saw some baby chickens and baby ducks.

 Then we went and saw some pregnant cows.

Looking at some horses and ponies.

It was a great time to practice his animal sounds.

Getting close to pet the pony

Then we petted some cows.

Next we saw some rabbits. Not sure what noise they make.

Brek was a big fan of the ducks

More horses

And we saw lots of chickens

I loved the goats and sheep

They were very friendly

That little black baby sheep in the right side of the picture was "baa-ing" for his mommy. Brek was "baa-ing" back.

Such a cute baby sheep!

And of course we had to play on the big John Deere tractor

Brek wasn't so sure of its awesomeness.

Of course we had to see if he fit inside the wheel.

 The best part of our visit was that Brek got to have his first pony ride. He LOVED it! He started bouncing up and down/forward and back to get it to start moving. He even said "yee-haw!" 

Love that smile!

Petting his pony when he was all done.

And then in the gift shop on our way out he found this hat.

 We had a fun visit, and hope to go back again sometime soon.
