Clarkland Farm

On Wednesday we went to one of my favorite places, Clarkland Farm. It is cheap and fun and the kids love it because there is so much to do. Our friends Jessica and Sienna came with us. 


We started in the Enchanted Forest. Brooklyn and Sienna sat on the wall next to Humpty Dumpty.
 My little Laneah has developed a fear of almost everything. It seems to be an age thing. But the statues were very real to her and that scared her. She said she wanted to take a picture with Papa Bear but when she sat down to take the picture she started crying. She was fine as long as she wasn't too close to them.
 She loved the shoe slide though.
 We rode the cow train and both the girls liked that. 

 The foliage was beautiful. I love fall. 


 The girls all wanted to take pictures in this pumpkin scarecrow. 


 It kept raining off and on but it wasn't too bad. They have lots of shelter so the one time it rained hard we ate lunch at one of the pavilions. After lunch we went on a hayride. This was all of the girls favorite part. 
 Too busy looking around to look at the camera:)
 When we first got there the farm was really crowded because there were lots of kids on field trips, but after lunch it cleared out and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. So we headed over to the animal part of the farm. Brooklyn loved these little chicks. I think she would have stared at them all day. She went to check them out several times. 
 One of the things I love about this farm is they have a pen that the kids can go in and pet a lot of different animals. 


 Brooklyn wanted to show Laneah the chicks. 
 Laneah got to ride a horse; Captain Jack. She told me after, "mom, he isn't really a captain, he didn't have an eyepatch". lol. But as always, she enjoyed the ride.

 Brooklyn didn't want to ride, but she did want to pet the horse. 

 They also got to pet this adorable fluffy bunny named Bob.


 The other animals are in pens that you can't go in but you can feed some of them and pet them if they stick their heads out. Brooklyn was trying to feed this sheep, but he was aggressive and grabbed her bag of cookies. She was not happy. I got it back and threw it away, thank goodness, I was so worried that the sheep would eat the plastic and get sick. It was pretty funny to everyone but Brooklyn. Luckily, Jessica had the same bag of cookies in her bag. Crisis averted. 
Then it was time to go. Sienna and Brooklyn were ready for their naps. We all had a great time.
