This weekend I couldn’t take the icky, mucky, no fun to play outside, weather any more. It has been cold without good snow (I’m all for sledding and building snow forts), leaving our backyard a slushy, muddy mess not suitable for any real play. When the sun decided to come out from behind the clouds, I had to get outside. So we bundled up and headed to the farm. The wind was pretty fierce but we could duck into the barn, chicken coop, etc when we needed to warm up. AND I got to see when the Sugar Shack was planning to open. Just a couple more weeks… 🙂

There was a litter of 1month old piglets that Pixie fell in love with.

Fairy worked out on the pulley demonstration lifting 20lbs again and again.

And Bug was enamored with Jazzie the Bunny.

The highlight… Mr. Rooster. I think he felt as cooped up (ha) as we did. He was strutting around making as much noise as he could. Every time he squawked, it startled the kids but they laughed and laughed. He was very entertaining.
