A day at the farm....

Today we spent our time at the Deanna Rose Farmstead in Overland Park, KS. This was our first visit there, many of our friends/coworkers have told us to take Allison there, so we finally did. Allison had a ton of fun petting all the farm animals....she especially loved feeding the little goats a bottle of milk....so much that we had to do 2 bottles...we could have done 3 or 4!!! We got to see Pippi the dairy cow and her baby, Stormy, who was born in May I believe...during a storm....lol, hence the name Stormy. We saw some stinky pigs and a few chickens and roosters. There was even a bobcat in a cage...actually 2 of them, but one was sleeping. Allison took a ride on a pedal tractor....assisted by Daddy of course. Needless to say we saw tons of farm animals! My favorite part was the hayride. We were able to see quite a few wild deer while on the trail, so that was nice to see...since it wasn't a planned "exhibit". Yes, we see them all the time..running across the highway or laying along it. There was just something so awesome about it...maybe just how close we were to them and they just stood there. There were a few mamas and their babies, still with white spots on their backs. It's hard to believe that in the middle of a big city, that in a small little grove a little clan of deer just lay/stand there, oh so peaceful. Anyway, we are all tuckered out from our big day...well except for Allison, she is just full of energy. We are watching the Opening Ceremony for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, pizza delivery is on the way. Looking forward to a quiet evening at home. I'll leave you with a video of Allison feeding the goats....actually 2 videos...I couldn't pick which one was more cute!
