Clarkland Farm



While my brothers were here we went to Clarkland Farm. We had never been, but went on a recommendation from a friend. We all loved this place! It was great. You enter inside this big castle to get inside the farm. We started our adventure in the Enchanted Forest. They had these huge houses and statues from nursery rhymes.
Laneah loved the Dish and the Spoon.
The Crooked Old Man and his house.
I stepped off the path on accident when I was trying to take a picture and stepped into a mud pit. When I lifted my foot up, the mud sucked the sole of my shoe right off! It was so funny, we all couldn't stop laughing. I didn't care because luckily I wore old tennis shoes to the farm and there was still a covering on the bottom of the shoe so I wasn't walking barefoot or anything.

This one was really cool. It was the Old Woman and the Shoe house and you could climb in it and there was a giant slide in it.
They also had this really cool rainbow slide.

They had a big park with a wooden boat and train and slides. They also had a giant play area full of fun toys for kids to play with.
After the Enchanted Forest and the park, Laneah went on a pony ride. She completely surprised me because her last pony ride in October did not go well. But she went right up to the pony, pet him and then climbed up the stairs and got right on. She waved good bye to me and went on her own with the guide leading the horse. But I didn't even have to walk beside her. I was a little nervous, but she did great.
Then we went on a hayride and that was really fun.
Then we went to the petting farm. They had rabbits, chicken, ducks, donkeys, horses, pigs and tons of other animals. They had a giant pen you could go into to pet most of the animals and the other ones you could pet if the came up to the fence.
The last thing we did there was the Enchanted Maze. They have a cute little maze full of more houses and statues.

This place was so much fun and we will be going back for sure. There was lots more to see too. Laneah had a blast and it was really fun having my brothers there.

That looks like such an awesome place! lol your shoe picture/ story was hilarious :D Was the chicken in the picture taking a nap or dead? I've never seen a chicken laying down like that.

Way cute! We'll have to remember that place when we come out in August. Sorry about the shoe :)

Christy- lol, I thought the chicken was dead too, but it got up and then laid back down. It was just taking a snooze.
