Acres of Fun

We took an impromptu trip to Butterfield acres to see what the kids thought of all the animals.  With the colony we now have living on the Williamson's property, Tyler's parents have been talking about getting some animals to help cut the cost of groceries.  Lucy has been very excited about having baby chicks come live at our house, but she is often excited about something in her mind, but when it comes to the actual realization of it, she can be quite timid.  We thought a trip to Butterfield Acres would let us know just how she would do being surrounded by lots of animals and not just lots of people.  

We ended up spending 3 hours there and were never bored once.  The kids could have stayed even longer if our legs could only sustain us.  

They each got to ride on the pony and pet more animals than we could even count.  

Lucy, as per usual, was timid but really liked seeing all the animals and especially loved the baby chicks.  

Max was fearless and sat down with all the animals so he could be at eye level.  

The only time he got a little unsure was when the piglets started sucking on his fingers.  

He cried for a moment and was happy and onto the next thing in no time.  

His favorite part was riding on the big green tractor, "oliver" and he got very upset when he had to give his sister a turn.

It was a bit pricey to visit, but totally worth it.  We bought a seasons pass so we can go back again and again. 

 We were also fortunate to see the "Steven Tyler" of Roosters.
