Jeff and Callie do the Farm Thang...

Callie and I took a trip to Mapleton's Organic Farm on Saturday. I drive by this place all the time for work and have always wanted to bring Callie here. It is a little farm setup with a barn with all the baby animals so you get to pet them and see them up close. They do a great job of letting you see a *real* farm. We are talking poop on the boots kinda real farm...

This was a common sight on the trip - Callie had a great time and was laughing and smiling up until we had to leave.


I don't think they have any weeds left. I showed Callie how to pull the weeds up and feed them to the bunnies. They had a half dozen of them in cages arond the place. They also had chickens and roosters walking around. You have to be careful in the driveway so you don't run them over.


What is a farm without a tire swing...


Round and round and round she went. Lots of giggles.


The barn was great fun. They had a bunch of goats that Callie really liked. They were pretty gentle. Callie got nipped a few times, but she survived. She was a little shocked and looked to me to see if she did something wrong. It was especially funny when they tugged on her sleeves.


The baby cows were sooo cute. These guys would come out of their huts to say hi when you walked by. They loved the attention and made sure they moved close enough to the side to let Callie pet them. I never realized that they were that domestic.




I think the reason Callie got nipped is cause she kept doing this....


I like this shot. They both seem like they are looking at me.


The only thing we were afraid of was the Alpacas. They had big teeth and were a little more agressive. Their fur is definitely soft and lush though.


The piglet was crazy!!! He ran back and forth like a crazed lunatic. He was a little more than a foot long. Pretty cute and mom looked tasty... mmmmm bacon.


After we got bored of the animal we went and checked out the maze. Callie wasn't too much into finding her way through the maze so we cheated. In the middle is a playground that looks like a boat. It was cute cause she kept pointing and saying she wanted to go to the 'park'.


Her pants kept falling down... Daddy didn't know there was an adjustable elastic inside. Duh!


I will definitely go back there. We both had lots of fun. And they have great ice cream :)
