Sunflower Farm

This fall we discovered an amazing and magical place called Sunflower Farm in Longmont. It is a working farm with activities available for kids and their families during select times throughout the year.

 
Love it!
 We met friends at the farm, and our first stop was at the corn house (a shed full of corn that the kids can dig in and take by the handful to feed the goats). While us moms fed our babies, Emily made friends with the goats and Addie had a blast playing in the corn house.

Mom, it's like a house-sized bean bin! :)


Next, it was over to the pony for a RIDE!


While the thought of riding a pony was super exciting, Addie was perhaps even MORE excited to put on a helmet!
 
The excitement was contagious, and Elizabeth was buzzing!
Ear to ear grins


After the pony ride, we found a great spot for a little picnic lunch. We had a few curious hen visitors.

 When the kids were finished eating, they went to explore a hay maze nearby, and found a little clutch of eggs. If you look closely, you'll see the little mouse we got to watch scurrying around the eggs.

Hello baby chick!
The girls had such a great time, and I had so much fun watching them!

All tuckered out!
