Kelsey Creek Farm!

Wow! There are so many fun places to go around here! They are soooo much more fun though when the weather is nice. Today the kids and I took a trip to Kelsey Creek Park & Farm and the weather was perfect. Sunny, low seventies. So nice! I loved seeing the animals and watching my children with them. Jack was so cute saying "huwo" to all of them and Jonah quite enjoyed the poop, but he also was a fan of all of the animals, especially the ginormous sleeping pig and a parrot that talked/squawked (I know, it is not really a "farm animal," but I think they had it more like a pet...). And Paige really liked the animals and wanted to keep going to find more (like always). She's always moving! And you know what else I LOVE about this place? It's free!

Here are the kiddos at the entrance to the farm.


Nope, I could not manage a better picture. YOU try getting three excited little children to look at you at the same time when they would rather find some animals (or open up the little gate on the sign)!


Here are some animals we saw.








Here is a short video discussing a critical problem at the farm. Poop was stuck to the sheep's tushie. I'll spare you the picture of the poor sheep.



Bummer! I have been trying to put up some videos of the kids talking about their favorite parts of the farm and it just won't upload. I guess the videos are a little to big. Next on our To Do list: Get a Vimeo account... And just in case you were wondering about what was said on the videos, Jack liked the riding lawn mower at the park and the car ride with Mommy, Paige, Jonah and not Nana best (He was just expressing that Nana did not come along.). He also liked the horses. Jonah liked the big pig, the poop and the parrot. Paige liked the horses and the seesaw at the playground best. So much cuter when they talked about it themselves...

Oh, the weather does look beautiful there! There really are so many great outdoorsy places to go up in WA, this is fun experiencing them through your blog! I love how the sheep's poop is such an attention-grabber for this age, that's really funny :)

And yes, definite plus being FREE.
