Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point

It was $2 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point, so we drove down to take advantage of the deal. MarKey and Bennett came with us and it was so much fun.
I loved watching Natalee feeding corn to the animals. She'd put down one piece (yes, one piece) and then run to the opposite end of the pen to put down another one. She did this for the whole handful of corn. Needless to say, I got my moneys worth out of that 25 cent investment and the donkeys, alpacas, cows and horses really had to work for their treats with her.
Bennett loved the animals (although, they were no Meerkats). He squealed and giggled, waved and clapped for them. He's such a good baby.
It was also educational. We learned that Natalee is the same weight as 5 baby lambs and Bennett weighs just a little more than 2 chickens.
My favorite animal was the baby alpaca and the baby turkeys. My word, they were funny looking. Natalee loved the Donkey and the pony (Eric) she got to ride. MarKey, as always, loved the tiny little goats and was almost violent with the larger ones trying to hone in on her feeding time.

I was not almost violent..........I was full flown popping them in the nose to save my baby goat. I loved them.

Guess if Sunny got all mad at us for going to Thanksgiving Point, I shouldn't tell her that today I got to eat some of MOM'S FUDGE!!!!
