Green Meadow Farms

We had the best play group day ever this past week. We took the kids to a place called Green Meadow Farms in Orlando and it was amazing. It's a totally hands on with animals experience for the kids. Noah loved every second of it and came back of course filthy dirty! There are tons of pics that will have explanations, such a fun day!

I took a million pictures, most of the back of his head. These are the two winners of the bunch though. Such a cute kid!


They let the kids into a chicken pin and they could chase and catch them over and over. Noah was in heaven chasing them!

He got to ride a pony

Walking with his cute much older friend Emily

When we first got there he saw the playground and raced for it. We can play at a playground any day, chasing chickens...not so often

I think this is the only moment of the day he wasn't running. He was listening to the guide tell us about the cow Elsie and explaining how to milk her.....Noah opted out of that one.

Riding the tractor

He was so excited to ride the train. He heard it from afar and kept running towards it.

After the train ride he kept saying "bye bye Thomas"

Cute Emily holding the chicken

Happy with the chickens

Noah went around giving every goat a pat, he is no respecter of goats.

What you lookin at?


Run little duck run!

Feeding the goats

It tickled


This is lunch time, note Noah is the only one not sitting and eating his lunch. He couldn't understand after chasing birds all day why he should stop when their were peacocks roaming the picnic area. Lunch is so overrated anyways, who needs to eat when they could chase a two year old.

Pretty excited to hold the duck

Sean is 3 1/2 and could grab these chickens and ducks no problem.

Petting the duck

Could this day make him any happier?

Checking out the "Zorse"

You resort to eating the sheep food when you spend your lunch chasing peacocks


Thirsty pig

At the very end of the day the kids got to roam a pumpkin patch and choose a pumpkin to take home. Noah picked up about 15 different ones just to test them out.








Hayride

When we go next year we will make sure Zac takes the day off so he can enjoy the excitement of it all. It is these fun moments that are my tender mercies of an often very difficult job of parenting.

Does Noah know that I share the same affinity for goats that he does?! No wonder I am his favorite uncle ... I also resemble his father so that might have something to do with it.
