Old McDonald's Farm

We took the kiddos to Old McDonald's Farm (petting zoo) last Sunday & they had a great time! We had a birthday party at the nearby park in the afternoon so we decided to head down a little early & make a day of it. The kiddos love animals. We walked around, Austen was even brave enough to try to pet the pig. We had to walk back & forth a couple times looking at the ducks swimming. Oh, they loved the ducks: "duwks wimming" "duwks wimming in bluwe wadder" "two duwks wimming" "lots aw duwks wimming"

Then we sat down for a Picnic Lunch. They did great! All sat down & ate their jelly sandwiches, goldfish & bowl of fruit. Yes, I forgot a place mat of any kind so we had to use papers I had in the van (mapquest maps) We decided to try the picnic lunch before the party because I thought they may not eat the best at the party with lots of people around & stuff going on~ they'd be too afraid to sit down for too long that they'd miss something!

As much as they liked this farm/zoo, I think they'd love a real zoo. We may have to try to get that in before the snow starts to fall!
