Davis' Farmland

Hailey is at the age where she is fascinated with animals. I found a brochure in our grocery store last winter about a children's discovery farm with a petting zoo and above ground children's water park. Its about an hour and a half from home so we set out yesterday to find it. It turned out to be beautiful day, sunny and 90 degrees. A little hot, but it made it perfect when it was time for the water! Sadly, after our first couple of pictures my camera died so I don't have many pictures to share. I am really bummed because I missed some great moments!

The last thing we caught on camera before it died, thankfully, was, Hailey's first pony ride (or donkey if you want to be technical :-)! It was supposed to be a pony ride, but they pulled out the donkey. It was all the same to her though and she LOVED it! She squealed all the way around!



And our only picture of her feeding the animals. Before going into the farm you buy a cup of food to feed them. Hailey was very brave and stuck her hands right out there for the goats and animals to eat. They were in your face and she didn't mind a bit.



The picture above is actually from outside the barn area. Once inside you can go in almost all of the caged in areas and some animals just walk around freely - goats, sheep, chickens - it was amazing! You can also go in to see the newborn calves which was quite interesting. I think they were hungry so they were suckling Tim's hand and trying to follow him out of the barn!

They also had great play areas for both toddlers and older kids with playgrounds geared for both ages, a huge sand area and then a little village complete with a vet hospital, tool shed, a house - and all had the necessary add-ins for the kids to play.

Lastly, we ended up at the kids water park, it is above ground with water spraying everywhere. They also had a water table for the kids. Again, they have a toddler play area and one geared for older kids. Hailey was hesitant at first, but by the end of it she was running around screaming with the best of them. I wish I had pictures!

If you are interested to see actual pictures of the farm the link to the website is above and be on the lookout for news of my new camera ;-) I am not going to survive long without one!!!!
