Farm Fun!

There is an authentic 1900's farm near our home that we love to visit. It is a true running farm, and it is always so much fun to visit. Last week we went with some friends and had a great time!

As usual, Katelee loved the farm houses and barns, the 'horses' (which were really mules), the pigs, and climbing the fences. This time, however, she was absolutely terrified of any loose animals, which included chickens, turkeys, peacocks, sheep, and so forth. She was also terrified of the big cow which was in it's pen but which mooooo-ed really loudly. Right at her. :) I was a little disappointed, because the farmers were letting the children help milk the cow in the barn, but Katelee wouldn't get within 10 feet of that cow after the scary cow had frightened her outside.
The scary cow that mooed at Katelee. ;)
Katelee wouldn't let me put her down because these sheep were loose and she was scared of them.
The gardens were so beautiful!
Katelee was excited to spot a little pumpkin.
Exploring the farm houses is always one of our favorite things to do.
We both thought this tree was pretty cool!
In one farm house, Katelee found this spinning wheel in the upstairs loft. She was the first to go up the stairs, and as soon as she saw it she began shouting, "This is Sleeping Beauty's house!!!" So. Dang. Cute.

The lake next to the farm is beautiful. Last time we saw a turtle there, but this time we mostly saw fish and birds.
So pretty.
Isn't this old wagon great?
This is the evil, scary, demon chicken. Or at least in Katelee's mind. I think he's kinda cute.

My good friend, Tiffany, was with me. She is a talented photographer; here are a few pictures she took from our day.




Until next time, farm.
