Today we took everyone to Purina Farms. It was soooo much fun! Mike’s kids had never been before (neither had he) but my kids and I have been a dozen times or more, so it was our turn to show them something.
The kids loved the place. Between watching two different dogs doing an interactive agility course, the three story (yes that would be three HOUSE stories) cat home, and all the dogs, cows, chickens, horses and rabbits - the kids could not possibly get enough.
They almost had the opportunity to milk a cow, but they passed. We did walk through the Easter village and we saw all the baby animals. Ducks, chickens, puppies, calves, lambs…you name it. It was such a great day for it too. Nice, warm, sunny with a light breeze.
We even took a hayride around the property and the kids loved it. Just before we were ready to head home, we snapped a quick picture in front of the water fall.
On the way home we decided to stop at Rockwood Reservation and take a hike. It was loads of fun but exhausting. The entire trail we picked was UP HILL! And I was wearing sandals as were Jessie and Vanessa. We had a great time anyway, spent some time down by the creek, found a really cool glass bottle and then spent the entire rest of the ride home discussing how many cool things we’ve all had a chance to do in the past year we’ve been together. It made us all appreciate each other more and realize how much happier we are together.
This honestly WAS the best, most busy weekend we’ve had in quite awhile. Thank goodness for great weather!
