Farm Fun with the Barrie Tots!

We made our annual trip to the farm to meet the spring animas and have some fun!
This year we returned to Rounds Ranch in Elmvale and had a blast!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day to be out at the farm! The sun was shining, it was warm and the kids were in great spirits!

We had an excellent turnout of moms and tots all ready to have fun meeting animals and spending time on the farm.

We started off with some ducky races! The kids had fun pumping the water to make their ducky race down the pipes!  Even the smallest ones were getting in on the action and having a ball.

Once we were all there we headed over to meet the animals.  There were some new baby goats on the farm and the kids were excited to see them.  We were lucky enough to be able to go right in to the pens and meet the animals.  They seemed just as excited to meet us as we were to meet them!

There were also some new baby chicks that the kids were excited to see and some were brave enough to hold them!

After our animal adventure, Farmer Ann took the kids on a crazy cart ride!  The kids had fun in the barrels going for a ride around the farm!  Some of our moms got in on the ride too!!!

With a quick break for lunch to refuel, the kids were ready to play some more!!!  Pedal carts, a play ground, bouncy fun and zip lines, our afternoon was filled with fun!!!
Thanks to Rounds Ranch for letting us come and have a fantastic day at the Farm!

Cute cows and muddy piggies!

Kiddies love animals, they love the farm which means the certainly loved this month's farm theme!

To round off our month of Farm Fun, we got together for a play and social craft time.

momstown has some fantastic farm crafts on our arts and crafts blog and we took some of the neat crafts for our kiddies morning of crafty fun!

We started of with some cute cows. The kids used some paper plates, both big and small, some black and pink construction paper and a bit of glue. The kids were so excited when they saw how cute the cows would be and got busy putting them together.

All the kids followed the same sample but their cows were all unique and all perfect!

Once we got our cows all put together it was on the down and dirty job of making muddy pigs.

The kids loved the opportunity to get into the paint, and when they saw that they got to drive toy cars through the paint and onto their piggies, making them all muddy, they were more than ready to get down to work!

All the kids had a blast making their animals, and it was fun to watch them be creative and excited about their artwork!

Next month our theme is the Circus. I look forward to another month of awesome crafts, activities and fun!!!

Spring at the Farm!

We finally made it to the Farm yesterday! Last week our trip was cancelled due to a very cold and rainy day. It all worked out for the best since yesterday was the perfect day for the momstown mamas to head to Rounds Ranch.

The sun was shining, it was warm and everyone was in good spirits! We all met at the farm and had a little introduction from one of the farmers, Wendy!



While we waited for a few moms that got lost (and yes, I was one of them, had a lovely tour of Wasaga Beach though.), Wendy took the kids on a tractor train ride. The kids just loved it... and so did a few moms!



The kids piled in the barrels all brightly painted with animals, and held on tights as they were pulled along for a ride!



Once we had all arrived we headed to the barn area to visit with the animals. Wendy explained to everyone about the animals they had, which we could visit right in their pens to pet and play with and which ones were in a separate barn with their newborn babies.



The kids ventured in with the rabbits and chickens checking out their homes and looking for eggs. Wendy took one of the bunnies out for the little ones to hold and pet. All the kids were so excited, even the babies!



We were fortunate to get a special visit with the newest members of the farm. We were introduced to all the new arrivals, including a bunch of goats just one day old!


While visiting the baby goats, one of the mama goats decided it would be a good time to make a run for it and our momstown mamas, pregnant and all, corralled the goat so she could be put back in a pen. It sure was a moment to remember!

Seeing all the babies was so much fun! The kids were still ready for more fun though, so we headed to the hand wash station to clean up and then to the fields for fun. Some of the kids, big and small, took a ride on the peddle cars, some ventured into the moo maze and some headed to the large play structure where the kids climbed and played and braved the enormous slide and the super fast zipline!



It sure was a great day! Thanks to all the momstown mamas that came out to enjoy the morning with us!
