It's a magical little place where kids can feed animals, explore old farm equipment, get dirty and HAVE FUN! We bought some goat feed for twenty-five cents a scoop and Emily and Addison fearlessly fed the little critters.
There's an awesome old red tractor that all the kids had a great time driving.
We took a stroll down a path surrounded by old farm equipment. There were signs by each of the pieces telling all about what it had been used for. It's incredible to think about how very different life was like a hundred years ago.
At the end of the path there were gardens, some edible and some just plain beautiful.
There is a little museum that you can walk through with more old farming tools. Here's a collection of husking gloves.
And here's a milking stool. Used in the 1920s, "this ingenious device was strapped across the hips of a milker so they could move from one cow to the next."
Three curious youngsters in the museum.
A pony!!!
Elizabeth did not sleep well on our drive up to Fort Collins, so she took a little nap while we walked around.
We ended our trip to the Farm at the water well pump, taking turns pumping and splashing.
Love. And I adore the picture of Emily and Addison standing in front of the flowers!
