Wheeler Farm

Mandy and Quinn were up for a couple days, so we had to get together to play!  We went to our favorite lunch spot, Costa Vida.SANY0477-1SANY0480-1

And off to Wheeler Farm!  I have been wanting to take Zac for awhile, but the weather has not been nice enough.  We almost got rained out again, but the storm passed while we ate lunch and it was perfect when we got there.  And we basically had the farm to ourselves!SANY0484
Checking out the geese.SANY0486-1

These two honkers ran right up to me.  While Mandy ran the other way, I showed them who was boss.  I probably should have ran with her, but I figured they just wanted food.  They had to be pretty tame to be at a busy farm like this, so I was brave.SANY0491SANY0494SANY0496

Copy cats.SANY0519SANY0520

Oh Mom, you’re nuts.SANY0522

Quinny borrowed Zac’s stroller and LOVED it!  She didn’t want to get out and explore.  That’s one fun stroller.SANY0529SANY0530SANY0532
Zac’s favorite were the noisy goats and geese/ducks.  They were the loudest and moved around the most.  He thought they were cool.  SANY0533SANY0534

Hey Quinn, did you see those silly goats?SANY0535SANY0536DSC01585SANY0540SANY0542SANY0544

Getting all worn out! SANY0545SANY0546SANY0550SANY0551

I paid .50 cents for a bag of bird seed to feed the ducks.SANY0553SANY0555SANY0556

Here they come…SANY0557-1

…honking and waddling as fast as they could.SANY0558

Quack!SANY0560SANY0563

It wasn’t long before we were surrounded.  SANY0565

Quinn is like her Mama and wasn’t so sure about those crazy honkers.   And Zac says, “Oh come on Quinn, just sit in the dirt with me and watch these guys”.SANY0566SANY0567SANY0569SANY0572

It was so much fun!  Best .50 cents spent in a long time.  We were laughing so hard at all the birds that appeared out of nowhere for a little treat.  SANY0573SANY0574

Hi friend!  SANY0576SANY0577I remember going to Wheeler Farm when I was little, but I don’t remember it being that much fun.  I also don’t remember the big park and picnic tables.  Me and Zac will be spending lots of days here this summer, especially since it’s free!  So, if you wanna join us, let us know!

I want to join you!! I especially like the pictures where it looks like Zac and Quinn are talking to each other. So cute. And the one that looks like Zac is saying "What are you a sissy?" and Quinn is saying "I'm outta here!"

I'm very impressed with how brave you were considering your not so pleasant history with geese! haha
