Farm Country

We went to the Thanksgiving Point Farm Country Exhibit on Tuesday. Abby had a blast and really loved seeing all the animals. Sophie stayed in her stroller pretty well too, so she must have been pretty interested as well. (I have a hard time judging whether she is enjoying herself sometimes.) We drive past a few farms on the way to Grandma's house on Sundays and like to point out the cows and horses. Abby said she wanted to see the animals closer up, so this was perfect. Our ward is doing a Summer Activity Club and this was the first activity. We even got in for half price, so that was really nice.

Abby got to feed some of the animals and couldn't get enough corn to give them. She kept scrounging on the ground for little pieces to give the goats. Next time we'll have to bring our own dried corn instead of paying a quarter for a little handful.

Abby got to ride on a couple of ponies there too. She went twice because I didn't want to go -- haha -- and I didn't think Sophie would really appreciate it much. It was a fun day with the girls - we even celebrated our hunger by stopping by Cafe Rio on the way home. It was more of a treat for me, but Abby really loves their pork barbacoa stuff too.

How Fun! I used to love going to Thanksgiving Point; they sure do have lots more to do there now though! The last time I was there I was pregnant for Abi...LONG time ago!

What a great idea: a Summer Activity Club through Church. Cool! We did that in Texas, but here in PA, people are kind of mean (no kidding) so I go by myself. Ah well. Can't have everything everywhere!

It looks like they had a lot of fun. And what a fun club to have, sure wish they had that around our ward. Cute pics of the girls!
