Grant's Farm

It's been a while since I've posted. Life tends to sneak up on you, especially when you're busy.

A couple weeks ago we went to Grant's Farm again. It's kind of like Wheeler Farm, if it was operated by Anheuser-Busch. And it's more than just a farm, it's a wilderness preserve that has animals from all over the world! 6 continents are represented with a diverse collection of deer from all over, as well as many  birds and other wildlife. They also had a couple animals shows. One was similar to that at Hogle Zoo or Tracy Aviary with trained birds and small animals. They also have an elephant show which was excellent.

Annalyn was even able to feed a goat. They sell small bottles of milk that you can purchase for $1.00 that you can feed the goats. You have the option of actually going into the goat's pen to feed them, but they always seem a little too over eager, and there's always more goats than bottles...or people. I wouldn't be surprised if there were over 50 goats there anxious to be fed.

It was a really fun day. We had hopes of going a couple weeks before we actually went since the weather was so nice, but it was far too crowded. By the time we went the new school year had started, and we left earlier in the day. So it was still nice, not too hot, and not crowded at all. We all enjoyed ourselves, especially Annalyn - who finally got to pet her very first pony.
