papa date at the farm e-i-e-i-o!

For our papa date this week we went to Thanksgiving Point Farm Country. It is a real-life functioning farm complete with every barnyard animal you can think of. It provides a hands-on educational experience for kids - they allow them to milk the cows, feed the pigs and ride the horses. The entry fee is only $3.50 so if you have kids and live in Utah you should GO!! It was a beautiful day and there was so much to do. Malia loved it!

As soon as she saw the sheep she started "baaaa"-ing.
She kept at it for a good five minutes. It was so funny!


The tractor wagon went on a ride around the entire farm.
I HAD to stay with Kina in the stroller. It was a sacrifice, but someone had to do it.:)


Malia was a little scared of the horses mouth so she would
put the corn in my open hand and let the horse eat it from there.
She kept saying "Here ya go" "Here ya go".


Holy cow! This was the very first time I've ever milked a cow.
I never realized how easily the milk actually comes out. Pretty cool.


Remember how I said Malia doesn't like moving toys?
She doesn't like moving live animals either.
After I took this picture, the horse started walking and Malia wanted OFF:)


Kina slept while we walked the farm,
but woke up when we went to eat at the cafe.
How could you not love this face?

A good day at the farm!
