Exotic Wildlife Farm

I had been looking for a new pumpkin patch to take all the kids to this year and somehow came across the TGR Exotic Wildlife Farm. It looked pretty cool and it would be a little different than going back to the Christmas Tree Farm. But I wanted to check it out first, before dragging the whole Crews crew there.

On Friday, I made plans with Jocelyn to hang out because Saturday was supposed to be sunny and beautiful. We were going to take the kids to the park - let them run, exert energy, etc....however, the rain storm that came in Friday nixed that.

Jocelyn called on Saturday morning and said "well, so much for that...but we are still going to do something right?!" :) She then started to talk about this new place she wanted to check out as a possible site for a birthday party...and sure enough, it was the same exotic wildlife farm.

So, we set out to meet at 3pm with 5 kids under the age of 2 1/2. Yep. That's right. Me with my 1, and Jocelyn with her 4!

The kids just loved it there. They had so fun playing in the feeding troths filled with corn.

Maggie sure does love the little ones....

There were so many different animals for the kids to explore and play with. Maggie just couldn't get enough of them all. She has absolutely NO FEAR when it comes to getting up close & personal with the animals.

Piglets


Shetland Ponies

Chickens


Pigs


There was a large area that was filled with goats/kangaroos/pigs. It was so funny to watch the kids...as soon as the 3 of them went for the gate, the goats ran away as fast as they could :) Here they are hanging out, waiting for their return.





But the goats finally decided to brave it out and return...




Maggie's favorite of all the animals were the camels. She couldn't get enough of their licks & kisses!






And lastly, some fun with the pumpkins







So much fun & so many sweet memories made with our friends. Happy Fall everyone!
