Chickens, Grand kids and Snowmen oh my (the world around me)

Last month I decided to try and post something every week or at lest every couple of weeks about my area. I call these post The World Around Me...Here is my latest

My daughter finished work early today. I was off and the sun was shining so we took advantage of the spring like weather by getting outside. We decided on the local children's farm. First we stopped for some lunch.


As you can tell my grandson thought it would be more fun to wear his cup on his head than to drink out of it.

After we ate we stopped at our favorite thrift stores (since they were on the way)
I found a couple of movies and my daughter found this!

I told her she was crazy, that it would never fit


But she had a plan

I held my breath


1-2-3


Whew...she did it!

Next stop, the local children's farm where Cody played on the Swings

And the slide


He ran around in circles



And played peek a boo



While I took some pictures of the turkeys


And the swan



And the ducks by the water wheel


We stopped to feed the horse


Check out the llama


How often do you see cows in the city (This sounds like a new TV show...stay turned for cows in the city brought to you by butter lovers of the world)


Look at these beautiful baby goats


They were so sweet


Here comes the albino peacock


With this beauty not far behind


Next we stopped at the chicken house


This little fellow is having a bad hair day


And this one talked to us the entire time we were there


Not to be out done. Mr Rooster let out a big cock a doodle doo


Cody loved petting the deer


But was starting to get a little tired, so we sat down to rest


We were bored with the playground and the animals so we took a little walk to the other side of the farm, where this old building is


You might remember from last year that this is one of the area's that Cody saw a "ghost", It was in here that he saw an old man.


He didn't see anything there today,(I have to admit I wish he had) so we just looked around.


Isn't it amazing how quick kids get a second wind


We finished up our walk by stopping at the old graveyard where last spring Cody saw "The Lady Ghost"


We haven't mentioned her to him in a long time, but he still remembers seeing her.


he wasn't afraid and he enjoyed walking around the graves


It's been a long time since he has "seen" anything. I think he is outgrowing it already. I am not sure why children seem to have the ability to see and feel spirits, but his mom and I want him to be comfortable around cemeteries and old places where "something" might be.
One of the ways we do this is by giving him the camera to take photos.


I think he did a good job getting this one of me and his mom

And an even better one of his feet (giggle)


One last walk around the lake and it was time to head back to the front of the farm





We must not forget to visit the rabbits


Or the giant turtle


And last but not lest climb in our favorite tree



Thank you for joining me for a trip in The World Around Me....
