Nickajack Farms

This morning we ventured out to a nearby farm having a spring open house.  We were there in the fall for the pumpkin patch, and really enjoyed ourselves again today.  As we were pulling up there were a bunch of horses running in a pasture.  I pointed them out to the kids and Dawson told me "horses love Dawson."  What a funny kid!

 

 

We looked at the petting zoo first.  There were sheep, pigs and horses.  Dawson's favorite was the sheep.  Mike's favorite was the sheep named tater tot.  I assume it is because of the name.

 

We walked up to the horses and Dawson decided that although "horses love Dawson"  Dawson does not love horses.  He started shouting "go outside, go outside."  Then the horse whinnied and that kid freaked.  After some Mom hugs I convinced him to stay in the barn.

 

We went and saw a baby horse named Sunny.  After watching his brother and sister pet the horse, Dawson even followed suit!

 

Everyone loves the discovery barn.  There is a corn pit to play in, grocery store and corn conveyor belt.

 

 

Roover refused to let Mom touch her hair today.  So Dad did his best, and although it was one of his best jobs it failed to keep the hair out of her face. 

 

 

 

We took the coldest, longest hay ride of the year.

 

 

Dawson like it though!

 

We also did the bicycle go-carts.  A warm up for next week!

 

Can you see Mike in the background pushing Dawson around?

We topped it off with a spin on the play tractor!  A fun day, although I'm still wishing for it to get warmer!
