A Day at Deanna Rose

This past Friday we took a trip to the Deanna Rose Farmstead with Ben's best buddies Sam, Sophie and Julia and their mommy Laney. We were lucky to have an overcast day so it wasn't too hot for us to enjoy it. We started off looking at all the farm animals but Ben was not impressed and was actually quite scared of the sheep and goats. Anytime one would stick its head out of the fence he would cry!

The farmstead also features some fun playground areas, which Ben and his friends thoroughly enjoyed! Near the playground was a water area where the kids could take their shoes off and splash in the water. Ben, of course, wanted nothing to do with this given his fear of water!

We ate our picnic lunch in the back of our truck so that we would be able to keep all the kids in one spot! This worked out well, although Ben did get filthy dirty from the black mat that covers the bed of the truck (a wet wipe bath took care of the problem!).

After lunch we headed back into the park and spent most of the rest of our visit riding on the little tractor pedal cars. The kids all loved this part! I'll be anxious to see how much more fun they think it is once they learn to pedal the tractors!

We also had to try and get a picture of all four of them together, which as you can imagine was not an easy feat, but we did pretty good!
