On Saturday we went to a little family farm called Twisted Creek Ranch, driving past the enormous crowds at Liepold farms in favor of a lesser-known pumpkin patch. Each of the girls got a bag of food to hand-feed the animals, which enthralled them. The farm had a llama, emus, goats, pigs, chickens, horses and rabbits.
Even Bethany got to pet a little pygmy goat as it tried to nibble the food at her feet, though she cried indignantly when it tried to sniff her face. The girls each got to ride a pony as it was led around the field by an attendant, which was a new adventure for them (not just in a circle around a pole like they do at fairs).
Daddy pulled them in a wagon through the pumpkin patch and they enjoyed a free cup of hot cocoa in the little store as Bethany played with a tic-tac-toe game made of carved wooden pieces. There was a playground, too, though the girls were too tired at the end of our visit to make much use of it. It was nice to have a quieter family experience, though, and we definitely plan to return next year.
