Purina Farms and Lone Elk Park!

Adriana started her spring break on Thursday and we thought what better way to start it off than by going to Purina Farms and visiting their Easter Village. We started off early thinking it might get busy but it actually turned out to be not very crowded and a beautiful day!
Here is the kids starting out their adventure......not too excited yet!

Pointing out all the fish in the water.

Getting a little more excited!

Joey playing in the corn with tractors. This was the only time he would let me put him down.....he isn't too big of a fan of all the animals.

Now we are getting really excited!

Petting a cat.......finally an animal Joey will see.

We ended our visit with a tractor ride around the property.

And Joey enjoying his ride. Yes, it is impossible to keep shoes on that boy!

On our way home we decided that since it was such a beautiful day we would stop off at the Lone Elk Park since it was on our way home.
The kids were super excited to see all the animals and kept looking out the windows to make sure they didn't miss any!
First we came across a group of elk that were keeping cool by standing in the lake.

Next we entered into the buffalo area.....these guys were not hard to miss. They were right up next to the road and if we leaned out far enough we probably could have pet one.

Here is a picture of one with my car mirror in it so you can see how close he was.

And we even spotted a little deer. He was a little further in the woods and was harder to find.

We had a great time even though we never spotted the two animals Adriana and Andrew wanted to find which was a fox and snake but we did get to see plenty of others. We will definitely have to make another trip out there!
