Schnepf Farms

This weekend we also had the priviledge of visiting Schnepf Farms with Jesse, Brandy and their family. Once we arrived we visited the carousel. This was Cooper's first time riding on a carousel. I thought he would really enjoy riding on one of the horses but I was mistaken. He reacted just as he had when I tried to put him on the pony the day before. In order to get him to even go on the ride I had to sit on the horse and hold him.

After the somewhat successful carousel ride we found a cute little photo-op and had the kids pose for the cameras.

Then we were off to the pig races. The boys hung onto the fence and watched as the pigs raced by while Tyler was chosen to stand up front and cheer one of the pigs on. Needless to say, the boys only lasted for a couple of races before we had to move on to the next attraction.

Our next stop was at the petting zoo where the children enjoyed petting the goats, well some of them. I have come to realize that Cooper is a dog or cat kind-of boy. I had to take his hands and help him pet the goats because he was a little scared. That is not to say that he didn't enyjoy chasing them. I think he just felt more comfortable at an arm's length.

After the kids were done playing with the animals, we headed over to the corn maze. We attempted to go into the maze when we decided it might scare Cooper half-to-death if an older kid jumped out at us. Instead we posed in front of the corn.

We had tons of fun and we can't wait to go back next year.
