Slate Run Historic Farm

On Tuesday Eliana and I went to Slate Run Historic Farm with three other moms and their kids.  This is a farm in a metro park about half an hour from our home.  We had a blast!!  The weather was great and the kids were all in a good mood.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect time.  The farm is run as it was over 100 years ago, and all of the workers are dressed in costume.  They had lots of animals that we could get so close to.  The kids really loved playing with the water and soap at the pump and playing with the old time toys in the farmhouse.  After the farm visit we ate a picnic lunch in the park.  I think we should eat every meal outside.  It doesn't matter when Eliana throws food on the ground and when she was done eating, she just ran around with her friends in the grass and I could finish my meal in peace.  Great Tuesday!

At first, Eliana was too involved with her snack to care too much about the animals.

Heading to the chicken coop with Morgan and her son Sam.

Checking out the "cluck clucks" (Eliana names most animals by the sounds they make).

Chatting with her friend Adele while hanging out with some chickens.

The girls liked sitting in these little child sized chairs on the porch of the farmhouse.

"Aren't these chairs great?!"

When I zoomed in on this picture, I realized that I had snapped a shot of Eliana munching on a rock.  Fun times!
