A trip to "The Farm"

So we went to a quaint Farm up in Door County last weekend.You could tell The Farm was a real farm at one time but was made into an exhibit. It was such a beautiful day to go and we found a nice little trail for a nature walk that was attached to it. Oddly enough out here in Wisconsin you find these hidden all over the place and once you start the trail you are what feels like deep in the woods before you know it. Luckily before my camera completely broke (from when I fell with it while tripping over one of the dog's chewies on the floor) I was able to get some good pictures of Savannah feeding the farm animals...

This little baby goat was so cute!

Savannah feeding the baby goats...they were so funny, they would stand right outside the door of where the goats milk was sold to the kids...just waiting for those baby bottles. Yep. Goats eat. A lot!

More feeding, this one was only a couple weeks old and tiny as ever!

Giving the cow some grain. I got this picture just before he swallowed her hand!

Took this one for dad. They also had an old buggy with the wooden wheels.

Savannah was grossed out milking the goat...she actually didn't get any of it in the bucket. I just love the look on this mama goat's face. She's like..."Please."

There were kittens in the field playing and dogs just wandering around, I liked how free they were. Lots of baby sheep too....so dang cute! Oh and there was also an egg incubator on display where baby chicks were hatching. They take a long time so we didn't have all day to watch, but it was neat to see the little cracks in the eggs they made.

The Farm had picnic tables in front by the parking lot under the most gorgeous bunch of shade trees. We brought a picnic but unfortunately we ate breakfast later than we should have and wasn't hungry. On the way home we stopped at a place called Waterscape Designs pond store. We are planning on putting a pond and waterfall in our back yard where the hill is on our lawn by the brick wall. I just love the hyacinth's and the frogs and the coi. It will be a lot of work but will be a nice addition to the yard once it is done.

We will definitely go back again and make both of these trips. :)
