"Old McDonald Had A Farm..."









eieio! The post below I stated that last year we weren't satisfied with Old McDonald's Farm and we decided to go to Dewberry Farm instead. Well, we decided to give Old McDonald another try. I satisfied my pumpkin PATCH itch so there was nothing to lose. It was a beautiful day and we really just wanted to be outside. I am pleased to report the kids had a great time! A big perk out OMD is that they have a GREAT petting zoo! Each animal (Lama, Pigs, Cows, Chickens, Rabbits, Free Roaming Deer, Donkey ect. ) have their own pen and you can get right in the pen with them so it's very hands on. After we fed and petted the animals, we picked out yet some more pumpkins (smaller ones) and road a train. Then the kids played on the huge playground they have. Needless to say I'm glad that we went back and gave the place another try! Oh and I forgot to mention that the kids LOVED the poney rides, they are still talking about it a week later. We do live in Texas where horse back riding is a way of life not just a sport so it's likely that riding lessons are in the kids near future. It's something they really seemed to enjoy!

Julianna petting the pigs. Yeah she looks happy there, soon after the pig "oinked" and she started crying hysterically, lol! I tried explaining that it was his way of saying "Hi"!

Petting the cows! Right after I took this picture the cow's tail wipped around the knocked her down!
