This morning we went to visit a historic farm. The farm is kept similarly to how it would have been in the 1800's. Adara was all excited when I told her we were going to the farm and she kept talking about seeing the pigs. Luckily, there were pigs! :) But, while she found the pigs interesting, her "favorite" animals were the chickens. There was a large pen with chickens, roosters and ducks. Some of the chickens had escaped and were wondering the grounds too. One of the gentlemen who worked there let us in to the chicken pen and Adara got to give some cracked corn to the chickens. She was just fascinated with them (standing, staring, attune to their every move)! We also got to see some milking cows and some very large plow horses. Kyle got very upset each time we went into the barn to see the cows and horses. I'm guessing the large animals must have frightened him a bit. Either that or seeing the cow being milked was enough to drive the poor hungry guy over the edge, lol. ;) Adara was also fascinated with the cow being milked. There was a field trip of older kids and they were taking turns milking. The fact that the milk could be used to make butter was also intriguing to Adara ("I didn't know that!"). We stood for a long time watching the horses eat too, then Adara turned to me and said "I want to see the horse go poopy." Lol! (The horse did not oblige) Overall, a very fun trip!
