Fall Harvest Orchard

We took off to an orchard this morning that has a petting zoo and pumpkins.  That's a pretty big steer behind the girls!

 

 

They had a baby cow that was just 2 weeks old.

 

 

And the goats!  The girls each got a bag of food to feed them.

 

 

There were no pawing incidents.  I think they save that for my dad.

 

 

Lots of chickens.  Ones that lay eggs, too!

 

 

Giant corn cribs.  I'm sure I'll be finding corn in pockets, etc. for days.

 

 

There were new chicks that were just there for kids to try and pick up.  Mac wanted to hold one, freaked out when its little feet touched her hand, so dropped him on the floor.  I can't believe there isn't more supervision with these tiny little animals.  Their mortality rate must be sky high.  Dropping, squeezing, too hard petting.  Pretty scary.

 

 

You could feed the cows, but you were supposed to feed them downed apples.  Because it's so late in the year, there really weren't any apples left.  Leiden improvised with some weeds.

 

 

And this little gem finally came, today.  It is now proudly stuck in our lawn.
