first va-cay stop, Grant's Farm


We decided to go to Grant's Farm while we were at Grammy Pammy's house.  Neither Andy or I had ever been and I was curious to see what it was like.  It was hot.  It was humid.  It involved some line standing with the children.  It's not a bad deal, though.  It was $12 to park and get into the farm, and that's all we would have spent if we didn't go to the gift shop to sugar up before we left (since we had sweat all our energy out).  We could have spend more, but we did not bring cash for in park snacks or the merry-go-round.  I did find some change so all the kids could feed the llamas.  I'm thinking we're not going to make a return trip, unless we want to go back when the little ones are old enough to remember.  But, it was a nice family outing that I think the kids enjoyed.

In the long, winding line to ride the tram.  6 kids, 3 adults, 2 strollers.

Kinley and Daddy!  3 weeks old and she's been to 3 states already.  What a traveler.  She eventually fell asleep (or the heat made her tired, hard to say).

Grammy and Kella.  We convinced Grammy to come with us.  Surprisingly, after standing in lines at Grant's Farm, she did not want to come with us the next day to stand in line for the arch.  But, we appreciated her help in wrangling the children.

Finally made it to the tram!

Looking tired and ready for a ride.

The smartest animals on the farm were these elk.  They had the sense to be in the water.  I'm pretty sure the temp that day was a balmy 90 degrees with a "feel-like" temp of close to 100. 

Kella got confined to the stroller after a while.  She was not a fan of that idea.

In line for the tram to get back to the front and out of the park.  We were ready to go!

(The next stop that day had the boys, especially Cale, very excited.)
