Sweetness At The Farmpark

The next few weekends at the Lake Farmpark are Maple Sugaring Weekends. While this weekend might be a little soggy, it is on our calendar. We had such a good time last year and the kids loved the maple stirs. I had never had one either and it was pretty tasty!

The Quilt Show is also going on and there are a ton of new baby animals around the farm.

Go check it out!

Spring is Springing!

It's finally warming up (at least for a couple of days) and that makes me want to get the twinadoes out of the house and active. We've been couped up for way too long this winter.

On our agenda this week is Lake Farmpark. My daughter,  age 3 1/2, has decided that she is going to be a "animal vet" so we spend a lot of time at places with animals. Zoos, Penetentiary Glen, and the Farmpark are her faves. The Farmpark has some new babies right now...piglets, lambs, and calves... and there is nothing cuter than those newborn babes. We'll be checking out the newest additions to the farmparks and seeing some of our old favorites, like Vikki the cow. Gives Mommy a chance to blow the dust off her camera as well!

So what are the places you go to as soon as the weather breaks?

Gone Campin'

The twinadoes are going to their first ever day-camp at the Farmpark. It should be interesting. The adore the farmpark and can't wait to see their friend, Vicky the cow and her baby, Unity.

The kids have even told me that this time they WILL milk the cow. The last two times we've gone up to do it, they have backed out at the last minute. Not one to let an opportunity go by, I DID milk the cow. A first for me!

I know the day-camp is full, but there is no reason you still can't enjoy the Farmpark. A true gem in the Metroparks system.
