Today we went to Davis Farmland in Sterling. The kids had a blast running around with the animals. They were able to feed them, pet them and even hold them. Joyce came with me and was a huge help!! This place is really kid friendly - and very safe! Adults must be accompanied by someone 12 and younger in order to get in! They also give you wrist bands for everyone in your party and they have a matching number. When you are leaving the park, they verify that you have the same number as your kid. It's GREAT!
We started off with the goats. Ari and Matthew enjoyed feeding the goats - but they were getting hungry and tried eating the goat food as well! We walked around and saw the baby cows, sheep and chickens - They have places for face painting, little playgrounds and places you can milk "pretend" cows. After a little while, we headed off to eat lunch.
After lunch, we took the kids on the pony rides. Matthew enjoyed it, but Ari only made it 1 lap around. She wasn't too thrilled with her horse! After the pony rides we went on a hay ride. They take you all around the farm and tell you about the animals who are in the pasture.
After the hay ride, we took the kids in the water splash park they have. They LOVED it! Matthew ran through all of the sprinklers and Ari drank all of the water! We played in there for about an hour.
Once we had enough - we packed the kids in the car and went to Rota Springs Farm, which is located down the street and had some homemade ice cream for dessert
What a GREAT ending to a GREAT summer with GREAT friends!
