So anyway I was SUPER excited to go, I think I was driving Matt crazy. :) So we took the short drive to Ashland, TN and met the geese, Llamas, Alpacas, donkeys, ponies, goats, a turkey, pigs, and a little farm puppy. The first part was the petting zoo. There was a big fenced area that had llamas, alpacas, donkeys, ponies, a turkey, and goats. There was also three geese wandering around and a little farm puppy. We let Will pet the pony but he wasn't too thrilled with it and we had to be careful because all of the animals were used to having people feed them pellets that you could purchase for a quarter. The animals would stick their heads out waiting for you to hold your hand out to feed them. We didn't want them to try to get Will's fingers instead. :) The pony was really cool because it has one blue eye and one dark brown eye. Kinda freaky but cool. LOL The goats were like most goats I have seen and loved the attention. They also were climbing on anything and everything to get to you so that you could feed them. The turkey was not so friendly and not so pretty either. Their gobblers and what-not on their head are icky looking. The donkeys, llamas, and alpacas were friendly but not in-your-face like the goats.
Cute little goat!
Matt was trying to show that little girl that the geese would walk away from you if you got too close to them. Then she proceeded to chase them until the guy that worked there got after her. (Since her parent's weren't doing anything!)
Pony
Freaky blue eye and ugly turkey. :)
I think this was a llama, but I am still unsure how to tell them apart. :)
Donkey :)
The black and white goat was super friendly and in your face. :) An the alpaca was just chillin. :)
They had a really cool old tractor sitting out for photo ops. Will thought it was way fun!
He's a natural!
Just so stinkin cute!
They had several wood picture things that put your face on something that Will that were pretty fun.
I'm a llama! (or maybe an alpaca!)
This scarecrow doesn't work so well...
Matt makes such a cute llama too...
They also had some swings, slides, and some hammocks to relax in.
Will wasn't quite sure what to think of the swings.
He loved this little slide tho. We may have to get one for him. :)
Isn't Matt adorable!
Will doesn't look very relaxed. LOL
This was a big slide that went through a tunnel. It was pretty fun.
We both got to go down this one. :)
They also had these plastic tube things set up so you could race to see who could get to the other side faster. So Matt, his friend Orelio, and his friend Michael decided to race each other. The funny thing is Orelio is probably 5'2" or something so he could basically stand in the tubes. LOL Matt was a little crunched. Needless to say Orelio and Michael made it to the finish, Matt made it about half way. :)
Will and I sat on the swings and watched (and laughed)
They had this "chair" made from straw so we thought we would see what Will thought of it. He was not a fan. :)
This was on the hay ride. It would have been better if they had horses pulling the cart instead of a tractor but it was pretty to see the country side.
At the pumpkin patch they had a pumpkin man that was kind of cute, so why not throw some more pictures at ya!
So that was our fun trip. We decided not to do the corn maze because we were getting hungry and Will was very ready for a nap. But it was a good time!
Sounds like you had a great time! Looks like fun. And you should totally make that your profile picture on Facebook (Matt the llama, you the farmer) Cute.
