Farm Fest and the Children’s Museum All in One Day!

Filed Under: fun, unschooling, yay

Wow! We had an action-packed Saturday and it was SO much fun! First thing we did was get up and head out to Farm Fest Five. It cost $20 for us all to get in and it was worth every penny. The boys got to see sheep, llamas, alpacas, chickens, sheep-herding dogs, and they had such a good time! Here are a couple of photos from that field trip:

After the festival, we came home to recharge our batteries and then we went back out and went to the Children’s Museum. God, I really love that place. I hate it when it’s packed with kids but yesterday no one was there and we had the whole place to ourselves almost. It’s a great resource and yesterday we bought a membership so we can go anytime we want. Here are some pics from our trip there:

    Fabulous day!
    The pictures are great! I especially like the one with hubby and then the last three of the boys!
    Whenever we go to our children’s museum I always think “sheesh, why don’t we come every day?!?” especially since we have a (about to be expired) membership.
    Such a great place.
    Really? no one there on a saturday? Wow!

    Well, I’d be willing to be no one was there because school’s back in and soccer just started up and people are “too busy”.

    I usually avoid it like the plague myself because crowds of people can make me break out in hives!

    It’s nice that in most major cities there is a children’s museum. One of the greatest creations for kids!

    Absolutely (one of the greatest creations for kids).
    It’s so spectacularly great to have a place where you don’t have to figure out a way to urge the children not to touch things or shout or behave in certain ways.
    It’s always a relief, actually.
    I was thinking that, too, folks are busy just getting back in school, and are not in to the swing of things, yet.
    Agreed – always better to go when it’s empty – we usually go after two, after the school trips leave!

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

This cute little cup came in a pack from @christma This cute little cup came in a pack from @christmastreeshops and it’s bringing all the fall vibes today! Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
