Fun at the Farm Museum

Omer went skiing all day so I thought I would get the kids out of the house and go visit our local farm museum. We haven't been since last spring and had such a good time. The boys only had to share the place with two other families. They played lots of different games together and we all had a great time.

After exploring some of the other items in the museum, Owen found the baby cow in the museum portion and called for Aiden because he knows how much Aiden loves cows. The cutest part is the Aiden calls cows "Cowboys".

Then Owen showed Aiden how to feed the cow hay. This was by far a favorite for Aiden. He fed that cow LOTS of hay.

We all were playing in the pretend general store, filling up baskets, using the register, having tea, etc., when Aiden stood up took his cup and announced, "Cowboy drink". I went to check what he was doing and he was running across the room to give his favorite baby cow a drink. I am not kidding when I say he did this over 10 times. Then Owen joined in on the fun and back and forth they went, pretend to fill the cup up and then give to the cow. Then it went a step further and the boys started to bring the fake food for the cow to eat. It was adorable to watch.

The boys did this for seriously 20 or so minutes. They also enjoyed riding the pretend race horses, playing in the puppet show, exploring the model tractors and then there last game started. The boys would fill up the wheelbarrow with chicken eggs, take it back to the general store, drop some off and then back to the chicken coop. This is where the ended our activity. When Omer returned home Aiden actually was trying to tell him everything they did at the farm museum. It was adorable to see how much fun both had.
