Springtime on the Farm

It was a perfect day to head out to Crowe’s Nest Farm!  This is an amazing farm that is set up solely for the purpose of educating city-slicker kids (and adults!) about life on a farm.  Marin had a blast and the Wizard got schooled on the differences between a goat and a donkey!   Ha!

A milking demonstration with Jersey, the cow…  Apparently, most kids visiting the farm think milk comes from H.E.B.!

This brought back lots of memories for me of growing up on a dairy farm.

‘Bruce’ the buffalo was a force to be reckoned with!  He refused to share his lunch with the other buffalos.

The peacocks had a very loud call that surprised the girls.

These city-slickers were tuckered out after a morning at the farm!  Hopefully we’ll make it back this fall for the pumpkin festival and more fun on the farm!
