Farm Country

We went to Thanksgiving Point's Farm Country. We go every year but this is the first year that Talan was brave enough to ride the pony.
Addy is a Pro horse rider.

Lincoln was not fearful at all. As soon as I sat him on the horse he was shouting Go, Go.

Lincoln enjoys seeing the birds. Even though he calls them all ducks.
Crew and the baby goat.

When we stopped at the goat pen, I noticed Lincoln over by the fence giving the goat a kiss.
All of the kids had fun crawling through the worm exhibit.

What a cute little worm.
They had this fun building that showed the process of how our fruits and vegetables get from the garden to the store. First you have to pick your crops. Addy and Talan gathering up their fruits and veggies.

Lincoln didn't want to miss out on the fun.

They had these veggie gardens and they also had little trees around that had fruit on them.
After you pick your crops, you put it on the conveyor belt  and it goes in the truck.

Crew decided to take a ride on the tractor.

Our kids ended up in jail. At Thanksgiving Point they have a little town and they kids favorite town building was the jail.
All through the farm they had interactive exhibits. The kids got to see how chickens grow in the egg and see all the baby chicks.
This was a fun activity. The kids tried to pick up buckets of feed for the animals. They had a little bucket for chickens and the buckets got heavier as the animals got bigger.

Talan separating the milk at the How we get our milk exhibit.
After he separated the milk, he started filling the milk containers.
Lincoln finished the process. Look how much fun he was having.
The little boys had fun doing the puzzles and looking at the books in the play center.
Every year we take the kids to Farm Country and the kids look forward to going. It is a great place for kids. I think that they learned a lot and had fun doing it. I it so neat to see Talan getting braver as he is getting older. He was proud of himself for riding on the horse. I asked him what his favorite thing was and he said learning how we get our milk. I can't wait to go back again and learn some more new things.
