Baa Moo Farms

A couple of weeks ago I went to Baa Moo Farms with some friends when the kids had a day off school. I was able to leave Emma with Nana (Emily's mom- Thanks, Nana!!) and take Cam. Baa Moo Farms would not have been the best place for a 16 month old along with a 4.5 and 3 year old. My friend Verna planned the trip for us, her girls, Lanigan and Adrianna, and my friend Ann and her two boys, Carter and Will. We had so much fun!!


The kids- Will, Parker, Maryn, Carter, Cam, Lanigan, and Adri


They had lots of calves that the kids could pet.


They were even able to feed one.

They fed sheep.





Will with his egg. They were able to go in the hen coop and pick an egg from the nest and then put them all in a basket. Then they fed the chickens. Surprisingly no one freaked out with 15 or so chickens running around them.

They had a chance to milk a cow. This is Carter milking the cow. Maryn did it but Parker didn't want anything to do with it!


Cam


Then they found a kitten to pet. Kittens are so cute. I think if they didn't grow up to be cats I might get one!

At the end we took a hayride around the farm. Cam's favorite part was the bulls. They did come really close to the wagon we were on. Fortunately the farmer was right there and our group was on the far side of the wagon.

We had so much fun and I would highly recommend it for a nice morning trip. You do have to make reservations in advance, but it was great for the kids to have such a hands on experience.

Darling pictures! I agree with yellowbritches; the pics of Parker and Maryn feeding the calf were my favorite. Looks like everybody had a fun time. What a neat place for kids!
