Wednesday, September 18: What better place to take Brendan on a warm, sunny September afternoon after school than to Schwallier's Country Basket? This place is seriously THE BEST.
It did my grandma-heart so much good to witness dear Brendan playing with abandon today ...
... trying every little thing ... milking a fake cow (who only produces water!)
Climbing up inside the goat house to tube slide to the bottom!
We inquired about the corn maze entitled this year as "Big Foot" but were informed that it is not yet ready! We'll just have to come back and check it out in further weeks.
Brendan fed very happy goats ...
Brendan laughed and laughed as this tiny goat tickled his hand as it ate ...
Mmm ... Brendan--I love you so much, dear child!
Goats are SUCH happy animals, aren't they?
Inside the goat pen (by the goat house), there is an abundance of goats as well. Brendan is raising his hand (where he has food) as high in the air as possible to keep the food away from the grown-up goats. Brendan was rather intent on feeding only baby goats today.
I absolutely love this picture (below) ...
We made sure to disinfect our hands after all that goat touching ...
The kittens were very sweet as well ...
Brendan was a little bit unsure of their sharp claws, but he got used to it!
I loved watching Brendan climb up and down the hay stacks ...
He really loved this tube slide ...
And he discovered rather unorthodox ways of climbing back up to the top ...
Brendan sent a few dozen ducks down the water slides ...
We went inside the little gift shop and I picked out TWO flap books about farm life (to keep in my car for little hands to enjoy). Brendan picked out a chocolate-covered sprinkled donut and apple cider and enjoyed every single bite. I refrained from any donut whatsoever today (it took a LOT of won't power to accomplish it too).
I love this beautiful place. Thank you, Lord, for this happy time with Brendan.
