One of our FAVORITE things is being a grandparent! Today we went to pick up the grandkids and went to our "Wild" Town Festival. The kids really enjoy this because they get to see all sorts of "wild" animals. Here they were petting the sheep and a baby calf.
He's SO SOFT!
There's a rooster at their feet.
Goats and pigs.
Here's a sheep getting ready to be sheared.
They are looking at some salamanders in the aquarium. There were all sorts of snakes, turtles and frogs there too. Even an eel!
Here they are feeling what the pelts of different animals feel like.
The kids here are looking at some old fashion farm tools. They each had a turn to turn the crank to get the kernals off of the corn cob and then again to turn a crank that ground the corn. Guess I was too amazed myself and forgot to get the camera out for that! LOL
Of course they wanted to have a ride in the BIG TRACTOR!
This is a lama or an emu that they were petting.
Here they sit in the states oldest court house at the judges bench.
They were watching box turtles eat earth worms here. They didn't want to leave this spot. It was pretty entertaining and they had a front row seat. Last year they had the snakes out that you could hold or touch. I was glad to see that the turtles were out this time!
We all had an enjoyable day together exploring the different activites. The kids were all smiles. It was very windy, but we still enjoyed the day. This is the 2nd year that we've went. The town does a wonderful job with this and best of all, it's all free!
