Charlie stepped in as the resident Daddy to bait every one's hooks

(and yes we already lost it in the water once already...now I know why they're made from bamboo!)

success!!

Sophia and Daddy caught 2 fish!

Sophia and her goats...oh how she loves them! She even started kissing all the goats, which we tried to put a stop to, but sometimes there's just no stopping her

even Leo got in a little goat

The Farmstead has proven to be a summer staple for us and this week was our first trip of the season. Actually, it was an event planned by our cable company for customer appreciation and it ROCKED! The place was closed down and only open to those customers and everything (except food) was free. They usually charge for things like fishing, pony rides and bottle feeding the goats, etc., plus they added face painting and inflatables. Lisa, Isaac, Jodie, Emma, and Isabelle were all there too. All the kids had a super good time and there was so much to do we didn't even make it into the other part of the farm. It was unbelievable! Charlie met up with us after work and it was a good thing because he was the only daddy and none of us gals wanted to bait any fishing hooks! It got us in the mood for more farm and we're really looking forward to future visits!
