Grant's Farm

We took a trip to Grant's Farm today with some good friends. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun! Grant's Farm was all decorated for Fall/Halloween, so it was fun to pose in front of the mums, pumpkins and corn stalks. Though some of the more spooky things were a bit intimidating. Kinsey was the only one brave enough to get her picture with Dave in front of this spooky Halloween character!!!

The kids got to feed goats milk from a bottle. They were able to see spider monkeys play, kangaroos taking naps, a bald eagle, feed llamas and camels and listen to macaws talking to each other.
We also got to see two animal shows. One was more of a variety show of various animals doing tricks and sharing special talents. The second was an Elephant Show. The kids got to ride the carousel too (a new feature since we visited last time). We also got to visit the Clydesdale's Stables at the end of our visit and two 1 year olds came over for us to pet. Kinsey really enjoyed this part . . . one of the horses in the stables inside the farm was named "Jessie" and that of course was her favorite. Simply because it reminded her of "Jessie" from "Toy Story", which is one of her favs!! Jackson's favorite was riding the tram that gives you a tour of the grounds and brings you into the farm.

We finished our trip with supper at the Incredible Pizza Company. A really fun, inexpensive, family friendly place to eat and play. And we scored FREE play passes with a scratch off card, so the guys raced go carts with the big boys and the kids got to play and ride some things for FREE! YAY!! Jackson said his second favorite thing from the day was racing go carts with Daddy!!
