Farm Country

Farm country at Thanksgiving Point is one of our favorite attractions. The girls enjoy seeing the different animals and always look forward to riding the ponies. We walked into a small, little, opened shed to see the bunnies. They didn’t smell good at all, so I said to Kate, “Stinky bunnies!” Kate, trying to put words together in new phrases repeated, “tinkin bunnin!” over and over again. Grandma Baldwin came along with us. We were glad that her leg was going well enough to walk around so much. Amy and Abby met us too. It was fun having a girl cousin to play with.

I think it’s hard for the girls to pace themselves because the pony rides are just so tempting. Nevertheless, they did wait. Audrey got to ride the biggest pony there this time

Amy and Abby bought tickets for a wagon ride. This was new territory for us, we had never ventured beyond the animals and pony rides. The wagon was pulled by two huge horses and we went on a ride by the massive corn field that will be used for halloween corn mazes. Using the field for a maze seems like a huge waste to me, but the driver told us that the corn isn’t corn you would eat, and that more revenue comes from using it as a maze than selling the corn as produce.

There’s a life-size milk cow in the main building and Audrey was able to milk some water out of the pretend udder. What a fun day at farm country!
