WW: Goats {Linky}

When we went to Kansas City, we met up with some college friends at Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead. It's only $2 to get in + extra if you want to go on a wagon ride. It was certainly affordable for our eight kids in total to go to.

Our kids + our friend's kids. They too post online.

The highlight was visiting the goats.

Isaak was happy to be greeted by 4 goats at the fence.

I kind of stood back, and was cracking up! One of our friends had a stroller he took in where the goats were. The goats snagged things out of his stroller basket. He couldn't get away because another goat had his shoe laces in his mouth. I'm still laughing when I look at this image.

You could pay extra for bottles to feed the goats, or do what we did and take 1/2 filled bottles from the bottle drop off spot.

The goats didn't care that the bottles were 1/2 gone. 

Mica was the most fun to watch. He was laughing as he fed this black goat. I swear Mica has squatted this way even when he was developing as a baby. He squats like this, like it's nothing.

Travis swore he wanted to take a goat home. He even looked into whether it was ok, or not to have goats in Omaha. For the record it's not.

Do you like goats? 

WW: Gifford Farm {Linky}

A farm in our area invited teachers to come visit for free. I asked if college teachers could go? They said, "Yes." We went.

On our way we picked up Chick Fil-a. We don't have one right by our house, so it was a nice treat.

The burros got a lot of attention from our family.

They had on special slippers.

This one looked like it had a cow's body, a horse's head, and donkey ears to me.

A cute burro!

Some horses had on eye covers, so the flies wouldn't get to them. The farmers insisted they could still see.

Pretty scenes on the farm:

We saw goats and sheep, but the spot they were in was fairly dark. They pig acts much like a dog. We weren't supposed to touch him, but a worker came over to let us.

 
What's your favorite animal on the farm? I think I like the sheep the best. They just feel so cool to pet.

A Little Farm on the Way

This summer when we went on a little trip, we were driving back home, and saw this sign that said, "Feed the goats and sheep." I said, "Why not stop to stretch our legs?

The kids were excited! Can you tell we live in the city?

A random rabbit was hopping around.

Some pigs in a pen.

The most fun the boys had were with the sheep and goats!

You could feed them, but I was mostly out of change. We just visited the capitol; where I spent change for parking. Isaak and Mica fought over change they found on the ground at a gas station. I convinced them to use their change to feed the animals. Then I found some change in the bottom of my purse.

It was cute watching the boys feed the animals.

Travis loves animals. I always feel bad for him that we can't have any furry critters.

It was a fun little, random spot to stop!
