Yesterday afternoon we took the kids to a local farm. It was 85˚ outside, and extremely dusty.
We are still recovering.
When we arrived, the kids were cool, clean, and happy. After they had:
*petted farm animals, including a few llamas, goats, sheep, and donkeys,
*climbed up, over, and around massive piles of hay,
*swung in hammocks,
*looked at horses,
*made a few new friends,
*played checkers on a gigantic checker board,
*gone down "The Black Hole", a giant underground culvert-style slide,
(over and over and over and over and...)
*climbed over, around, and under old tractor tires,
*wandered through a past-its-prime, dusty cornfield maze,
*gone down "The Black Hole",
(over and over and over and over and...)
*climbed up on and pretended to drive an old tractor,
*waved at the people on the hayride,
*gone down "The Black Hole",
(over and over and over and over and...)
*watched the final "pig races" of the day,
*gone down "The Black Hole",
(over and over and over and over and...)
*petted and fed the bunnies,
they were hot, dirty, and thirsty...but still happy.
