Young's Dairy Farm

Last weekend we drove to Young's Dairy Farm to take advantage of the beautiful weather and get the kids some fresh air.

Ben's getting pretty good at feeding goats at petting zoos.

There was a bouncy house for the little kids, for a small fee.  There was also a play area with slides, trikes, and bales of hay.  He spent all of his time in the bouncy house.

We just happened to be there the weekend that the annual Wool Gathering was happening.  There were lots of booths with vendors selling wool, yarn, and handmade items.  Pretty neat.  Plus Ben got to see some alpacas.

Here he's holding the lollipop drum that Daddy bought for him.

After seeing the sights we had lunch at the farm's restaurant.  I had to take a picture of Ben eating a grilled cheese sandwich so I'd have proof, in case it never happened again.  But he's eaten several sandwiches this past week.  Ben hasn't been a big fan of combination foods until recently.

Mmm, ice cream.  We were told we couldn't visit the dairy farm without trying some.  It was a happy surprise when Ben found out he could eat the sugar cone.

Maddy didn't care that she couldn't have any ice cream.  She was quite content to chew on a straw and hum into it.  We might be going back in October to go through a corn maze and pick some pumpkins.
