Our New Animal Friends

The animals at Country Woods Inn made the whole weekend. Everyone enjoyed petting, brushing,  and feeding all of them. This place is a little slice of heaven.

Grayson loved all the attention


Brooke and Mark the turkeys
Brooke was so excited to see one of the turkeys had her name. She made sure to tell everyone


Ducks were not happy we were there.
 
Sammy the pig would squeal if you pet him. We tried but it never happened.


Lily loved to hang out with everyone and most of all loved for you to pet her.


Ella

 
            Otis the billygoat
  
Ella the sheep wouldn’t get close enough to feed so we had to throw her food on the ground. Otis would have eaten all day if we would have fed him. He was definitely loving the treats and was fine to help himself to the bucket. 
                          

Richard and Ruby the rabbits. The kids loved feeding carrots to the rabbits. Brooke and Presley didn’t understand when they wouldn’t eat their carrots. They were caught yelling, “Eat your carrots bunnies.”


Jake                                                            Luke

The kids loved petting the goats Jake and Luke.

Jake got out one day when the gate blew open and we had to rope him and return him back to his home.

  
Jordan tried his hand at roping but wasn't successful.

This was a great morning. These three kids posed for me all morning and had a blast with all the animals.
My girls will always remember this weekend and I love to see their eyes light up when they talk about the weekend. It truly was a great memory filled weekend.

Country Woods Inn

We went to Glenrose with friends for Labor Day weekend. It wasn’t far but the Country Woods Inn made it seem like we had traveled a distance. It was absolutely adorable and had so much for the kids too see and do. This first post is a view of some of the homes and grounds.

The Prairie House

This home is split in half and will sleep 8 people. We stayed in the south part of the home. It was small but so darn cute.

 

The Main House

This home sleeps 12 people. It had a large table so we would feed the kids in the main house. We felt a little like the Duggers and couldn’t imagine feeding this many people on a daily basis.

 

 

The Rail Car

This little jewel sleeps one family. Clay and Josh really enjoyed sleeping in a real train.

 

 

The Breakfast Barn where we all ate breakfast each morning.

   

    

This is Grayson he would stick his head inside the barn hoping someone would feed him. Yes, it worked every morning. He really loves carrots and apples. He also loves to be brushed.

It was great to see everyone at breakfast each morning. Making waffles with a farm animal waffle iron was the thing to do and the blueberry preserves on top with whip cream was so yummy!

This was the  breakfast menu.

  

This sign was just inside the door of the barn. I thought it was so cute.

 

These were a few of the adorable decorations in the barn. The chair and table were on the ceiling. It was the details everywhere that made the weekend even more special.

Circus Week

It is Circus Week in Mrs. Dashner's class and they made these cute hats. The girls were so proud of them. We loaned our circus tent for Circus Week and the girls were proud to tell everyone that the tent belonged to them. Mrs. Dashner changes the look of the classroom every week to two weeks. I snapped these pictures of the classroom when I went to the parents meeting. Mrs. Dashner says all the kids love the circus stuff.  She is an amazing teacher and I am so glad the girls are in her class.
