Farm Country

Today was another 'FUN' day in the Hardman Household. :)

Tuesdays in August are $2 days at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, UT. We decided that we would take that lovely discount (discount varies by venue) of a whole $1.50 per person and visit Farm Country with some friends - Stacy, Lance and Kimmy.

Now, my kids are no strangers to a farm. Grandpa Twitch has some small barnyard animals (chickens, a turkey or two, etc.) and Grandma Bagley lives on a farm with horses, cows, sheep, etc. Farms are normal. But this was still fun. The kids had fun looking at (and feeding) all of the different animals. They even got to ride on some horses (highlight of the day, I'm telling you!) I think it may have been their first time? They were excited, either way!

Baby Cow that was born THIS morning - umbilical cord is still attached!

Robyn LOVED it - she insisted on doing it by herself!
Archer had a moment of hesitance, but then he loved it
DarTanion being too cool to smile for his momma!

OTHER RANDOM FUN PICTURES

Our little group: Lance, Archer, Kimmy, DarTanion and Robyn

Some of the monkeys in jail :)
Funny sign that made me think of my old friend Kelly Cook who,
thanks to a horse, is missing part of one of her fingers. :)

Archer insisted he worked there putting milk in bottles. He informed me that he has to work there tomorrow too. This was just a fun "hands on" exhibit to try and show kids how milk made it from the cow into the jugs. Archer assured me that his milk was the best. :)

I think Archer's favorite part was getting to see 'his Kimmy' again. The boy has a HUGE crush on little Kimmy (always drawing pictures and things of her and him holding hands, writing her letters, wrapping her presents, etc). You wouldn't know it how he acted around her today, but when we got home after our visit to Farm Country, it was Kimmy this and Kimmy that once again. :)

Ah, a boy in love :)

(and did you notice the little girl in the background is flipping us off? Yep...)

We had a fun day and are really glad that Stacy, Kimmy and Lance were able to join us. :)
