Down on the farm

Today we celebrated Labor Day with a visit to a local working farm. This was our first visit and it was so much fun. Oh wait, I forgot the best part...it was free! The farm has pigs, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, farm equipment, a pond and a butterfly house. It was such a beautiful day and we really took advantage of it and truly enjoyed ourselves.

Getting ready to go explore the farm

The first stop was the goats

The goats were very hungry for grass...apparently it tastes better on the outside of the fence.

The farmer got a piglet (just born 8/19) for Brayden to hold but he was scared so Daddy held it for him so he could pet it. The momma pig was not happy to let her baby go.

After the momma got her baby back, it was feeding time.

It was also Cami's feeding time!

Brayden wanted to show his special farm paper to the horse.

Oddly enough, it kind of seems like the horse was interested to see it!

The donkey...not so interested in Brayden's paper.

Cami was all smiles on her farm day.

"Mommy, look at the big tractor"

The cows were Brayden's favorite animal on the farm.

Ben and I thought this was a bull but it had female parts???

Brayden told us her was scared of the chickens because they poop...sometimes I wonder where he comes up with this stuff.

Time for lunch!

We found the perfect spot in the shade for our picnic lunch.

Look at the view of the pond we had as we ate our lunch.

One last stop at the Butterfly House before heading home for nap.

"Look at all the butterflies, Mommy"

Look how beautiful this butterfly is!
