Down on the Farm

Last weekend, we visited Springfest at the beautiful Wolfe's Neck Farm down near Freeport. It was a gorgeous, sunny summer day and the event was perfectly designed for an animal-loving, tractor obsessed toddler. We took a hayride around the adjoining campground (Micah was sincerely disappointed when we told him that someone other than himself would be driving the tractor that was pulling us). We listened to silly kid tunes under the tent and drank delicious berry and kale smoothies. We petted every farm animal imaginable and even fed a few. And we finished off the adventure with wood-fired pizzas and a peaceful, air-conditioned ride back up to Hallowell.

Peter Rabbit is in frequent rotation right now so Micah was very excited to visit Mr. McGregor's garden.


These sheep were well-fed after Micah's visit. 

The chickens were definitely the highlight.
I have scarcely seen Micah so excited: "Chicken up there!! Chicken over there!!! Chicken way up high!!"



Yeah, yeah, Mom...just give me the keys already.

    Fun, fun, fun. Aren't kids great? What a joy it must be to see someone overjoyed at chickens and just happy to sit on a tractor. Grammie

    Chickens would be fun and the egg money could go toward his first tractor...just a thought. Grampie
