Lake Metroparks Farmpark

Bryce is acting like a chicken!

And Hudson is too!

The boys love animals. All kinds of animals. Since we've already been to the zoo, I've been wanting to take them to a farm. Lake Metroparks Farmpark was perfect, although we did choose one of the hottest days of the year to go! The Farmpark offered a small cafe where we had lunch first, then we walked the property and found the barnyard. For some reason Hudson was acting afraid of the large pigs who were laying in the mud. Bryce lightened up the mood when he started acting like a chicken! Next we went to the barn where the horses were kept. The boys were more interested in the birds and Hudson really liked the large wooden puzzle. We even went for a little wagon ride. To cool off a bit we went inside where the cows are kept and milked. We missed the demonstration but there was a little play area to "teach" kids how ice cream is made. The boys loved driving the ice cream truck and playing at the various stations. Finally we considered going through the corn maze. We walked to where it was, for what seemed like an eternity but I'm sure that's only because of the heat, but once we saw the size of the maze we decided not to enter. We really didn't feel like getting lost with two little monkeys in a corn field! There was a little playset for the boys to play on by the maze so the whole walk wasn't a waste! All in all we had a fun family day...we always know the boys had fun when they sleep the whole ride home!
