Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend started on Friday with a visit to a very cute park not too far from our new home. It's called Frying Pan Farm and this time of year is the perfect time to go and see baby farm animals. It is wide open with different pens and fields for the animals. There is a visitors center, a playground, an old country store, several barns filled with old farming equipment, a 4-H building, a show arena, and a grill to get some food. It's free to go in but you have to pay for the wagon rides. Grant liked the fact that the wagons were pulled by an old Farmall like his Aunt Alice has.

It was such a beautiful spring day and many families were there. We went around lunch time and there were several families having a picnic with blankets spread throughout the grassy areas designated us people. You could pet the animals and they had hand washing stations once you were done. They also had little areas for talks about the animals and a cow milking station where they show you how and I believe that you could try milking them as well. The sign there said next milking session 4pm. Fun!

So now for the animals. We saw turkeys, a peacock, goats, chickens, baby chicks, ducks, cows, calves, sheep, lambs, horses, a pig and piglets. Josie had fun and it was nice to show her animals that look like the one from her play farm! When we looked back at the video it seems the only animals she wasn't thrilled about were the pigs. It could be there were so many kids in there. She enjoyed watching the other kids as well.










The rest of the day was spent at our new house sealing the grout in the tile and running errands. We did not make it back home until after midnight. We were all tired. Grant had to do some work so Josie and I just vegged on the couch for a little bit. She loves kleenex boxes and to pull the tissues out one by one. She usually has her own box but being tired I just handed her the one we were using. This is what happens when mom zones out.





Wow, I think I will have to do a part two later. To follow will be an Easter Basket for Josie and Moving day for us! We move Thursday!
