Owen's Farm






We made our first trip today to Owen's Farm here in Richardson today. The experience included a pumpkin patch, hay ride, petting zoo, and time to play in the hay. Rafi and Laura joined us for this fun excursion, and it was the perfect afternoon-- cool, blue sky, a few clouds, and sunshine. Claire did pretty well with the goats at the petting zoo. They were so cute with their little tongues, licking up all the food you placed on your hand. Claire fed them once and was then content to let me feed them. Towards the end, she was confident enough to reach and touch the horns on one goat and stroke his ears. ("They're big and floppy just like your doggies," I kept telling her.) Claire and Rafi played with the stem of a pumpkin-- so sweet-- before finally choosing their own pumkins.
