There were cute little baby chicks that the girls watched for awhile. They were in a special incubator, so the kids couldn't touch them, but you could buy them for just a few dollars. I was a little tempted to get a couple, but you cannot have chickens inside the city limits of Umatilla.
Getting to pet a little donkey. As long as Will or I touched the animals first, the kids weren't too afraid of them.
I wish I had gotten a better picture, but I was waiting in line for the carriage ride. Oh well. Whitney and Rachel got to feed some hay to the horses.
And here we are on the ride. It was just like a fifteen minute ride around the farm. It was fun feeling the gentle clip clopping of the horse hooves.
There was a building that focused on how things grow and then it takes the kids on the steps of getting the food from the farm to the store. This was a fun building because it had a lot of hands on activities.
And Whitney and Rachel's favorite place was this jail. I have no idea why there was a pretend jail on the farm, but I guess it doesn't matter. Whitney liked having me pretend to throw her in jail over and over.
Megan in jail and happy about it.
We let the kids have a pony ride; this was their first pony ride and we weren't sure if they would like it. But they loved riding on the ponies. Both of them were all smiles and even gave their ponies hugs at the end.
Rachel got the littlest pony and was very content.
There was another spot of the farm dedicated to dairy and showing how milk gets from cows to people. Megan got to play with a little milk truck.
There was a funny sign at the end. I don't think any of us got any special animal "souvenirs". So it was a really fun morning at the farm. I think the kids loved the trip.
