"We're at the barnyard....there was a cow outside"

We went with some good friends, the Ure's and Golden's to the barn at Thanksgiving Point. We had a blast as usual. There were some fun new little fluffy farm animals that weren't there the last time we went a couple months. LOVED it. Emma especially had fun playing with her friends Ethan and Brooke.

You might be asking yourself, "What on earth is Derek doing?" He is milking a cow ladies and gentlemen. Don't run into that opportunity too often. When we first got there they brought a cow inside to get milked. What a treat!

Emma had fun feeding the cute little calf...look closely he's smiling at her. Have you ever seen such funny teeth..I couldn't stop laughing at his smile.

The little foal (baby horse) kept eating and licking Derek's arm.

Emma enjoyed watching the calf drink from his 'baba' (in the words of Emma) as she watches him suck the life out of that bottle.

Emma enjoying herself. She kept saying, "neigh"

Ethan had a love hate relationship going on with these cute horses. He wanted to ride them SO bad but when the time came to hop on and giddyup, he wasn't as much of a fan. He still loved those horses though.

Here's Brooke again :)

Emma has been climbing EVERYTHING lately. Here are her and Ethan wanting to get in and play with the cows.

Isn't this little gal the cutest little munchkin? Her name is Susan, Ethans little sister. I just love her.

Here's Seth and Derek taking the kids on the wagon ride..they loved it

After all the fun and excitement of petting the animals we treated ourselves to a YUMMY banana split at the cute ice cream parlor at Thanksgiving Point.
