One of the yearly favorite destinations of our vacation is Pond Hill Farm. It's got everything that our kids love there: animals, ponds, food, dirt etc. They grow all of their produce and flowers organically. Inside their little retail shop, people can buy anything from organic sodas to home made salsa. It's a cool place to say the least.
The kids especially enjoy getting to feed the animals.
The kids always ask interesting questions when we visit the farm. There's just always a lot of nature going on around us. Some questions that have been raised include: "What are those two sheep doing over there?", "Why does that piggy have so many po po's?" fyi- (po po is my youngest daughter's term for "nipple"), "What's that hanging down from that pig underneath its bottom?". Typically speaking, as any good parents do, we just try to ignore our children in such uncomfortable situations.
Speaking of pigs, it amazes me that this thing...
...can taste so unbelievably good.
Especially when you know it just eats practically anything, as evident by this sign located inside the Pond Hill Farm cafe...
This year's new attraction was a very high tire swing. I wanted to get on it but there were too many children in front me. I hate lines. To compound my frustration, 2 little boys through a huge fit when I tried to cut in front of them.
Pond Hill Farm is a farm that's surrounded by hills, and, well it also has a pond. Go figure.
This pond is loaded with various types of fish, in particular very large trout. They grow to be huge because people can buy food to feed them and as indicated by the sign posted on the dock, no fishing is aloud.
The best investment we made was purchasing the butterfly nets. The kids get a lot of use out of them and ironically, rarely do they end up catching any butterflies.
"Daddy, is it okay if we try to catch a fish with our butterfly nets?"
"Sure, sweetie, you can try to catch one of those huge fish with your tiny little butterfly nets."
How precious. After all, it's not like they'd stand a chance of actually getting one of those things, right?
Wrong.
"Sweet Moses! Kick it back in! Kick it back in!"
