A special farm

This was such a fun visit! I had sadly never heard of this farm before, but I am so glad I stumbled upon it! I know it was bound to be cool with all of this fun stuff!

I grew up with the fun stuff here and although it's still not at the E.F., this is close enough ... although I will say it's a bit disappointing to see that you can't go "in" most of the stuff. The kids enjoyed checking everything out though. Below is Cinderella in her pumpkin coach :-) Ahhh the good 'ole days.

They also really enjoyed the petting zoo (or petting farm?). There were chickens literally walking around with us - kind of a new experience. LOL.

This is the 3 Little Pig's house below. Isn't the sky gorgeous?! I swear I didn't do anything to these photos to make the color pop like that - I just cropped and resized :-)

There were lots of slides all over - this one was attached to (I'm assuming) Mother Goose.

Angel's favorite in the petting area - the bunnies. Her Uncle has a pair of bunnies that she adores. Whenever she can get her hands on one, she's in heaven. She really loves animals - I can soooo see some kind of veterinarian job in her future.

This shoe was what I had been anticipating ... it's one of my E.F. memories that's most vivid. I told Angel all about it but I don't think she really understood. She told me this was the coolest place though - so I think she "got" why I was so excited about it.

Unfortunately I was a little bummed to see that the upstairs is locked off. :-( I really wanted to go up there!

This was one of the only times I got Angel to look at me and smile. She is absolutely a photographer's kid. LOL.

Lovebug was enthralled with the wishing well.

The crooked house, doesn't this thing rock?!

And the schoolhouse - I have no recollection of this whatsoever.

I love how bright all of the colors are! They are really just like this - someone spent A LOT of time restoring this stuff.

I know I say it all the time ... but yeah, I could eat him.

Below was the 3 Little Bears' house.

Lovebug was in heaven with the train.

This teacup was at the beginning of the E.F. maze - which was super cool. There are mazes cut out through these evergreens and they all have E.F. goodness along them. So fun!

And here is our sad attempt at a family shot for the dossier. LOL. I don't know, maybe I'll use it. Angel is impossible for family shots - Lovebug is always such a trooper. How is THAT possible? It's supposed to be easier when they get older, right?

So we had a TON of fun at this farm. The kids and I loved it ... DH thought it was "just" a farm. He is nuts. I think the long-ish drive had something to do with his thought process. It was completely worth it in my opinion! The kids had SO much fun.
