Day at the Farm

A few Saturdays ago, M&D took us to the farm for the day.  It is a working farm in northern Fort Collins and gives us "city kids" a taste of what farm life is like.  We got to see lots of cute animals, like the little baby pigs.

 

The barn and silo was connected by a walkway. 

The animals were very used to being fed.  This goat was just waiting for us to give him some oats.  The first time around we didn't have any food though and had to disappoint him.

I found a tractor that I could drive.

C was my copilot!

While D looked at all the old farm machinery, C&I ran off some energy around the garden path.

After looking at the animals, M went and bought us each a bag of oats for feed the animals.  It tickled when their tongues reached out to lick up all the food.

C wasn't quite sure about the animals.  Most of the time when they reached out to her hand, she would drop the food.  We finally got her to feed the goats.

The sheep were very soft to pet.

What a great day at the farm with the whole family.

After the day at the farm, we went to DQ to have an ice cream treat.  The park we were at had statues commemorating the bravery of heroes of the Spring Creek flood, so of course C&I had to play.  It was a great way to spend the afternoon.
