I admit I belong to a web forum for Korean kids. I'm not active on it, and in fact I haven't posted anything or really read anything up there. I do get emails every once in a while though that give me some info like play groups, different cultural events, and other web sites for Korean type things. The group really seems to be centered up in the area of the main office of our adoption agency in Waltham MA, so it's unlikely that I'll ever join up with any of the group. Although recently the group was planning on doing a trip to a place called Davis Farm. It included the web site, so I checked it out. It looked like a really cool place because you had to be under 12 to go. If you were over 12, you had to be accompanied by a child under 12. Ken and I didn't want to go with the group, but we figured it would be a nice day trip. It was far enough to make it a trip, but not far enough so that it would more than a day thing.

It took a while to get up there because it seemed like every Friday that we planned on going, it would rain. I wanted to get up there before it got too hot, plus I wanted to get there in the Spring because the site said there would be baby animals. Who can resist baby farm animals, right? Well, we finally made it up there and it was a really cute place. The parents and kids got matching wristbands so they had that "kid friendly" safety thing going on. (I go for that kind of stuff.)

When you go in, there are pens that held some animals, but there were also goats and chickens just roaming around. The staff was really on top of things there. A goat pooped in front of us, and in like 2 seconds there we someone there scooping it up. There were different codes on the pens (red, yellow, and green) to let you know if you should be cautious, or if you could pet them. There were also pens that you could go in. Of course we got ourselves a big cup of food and went on in. I, I mean Jacob, couldn't wait to get in there to feed the furry little guys! It was great how Jacob wasn't afraid. We hit the pigmy goat pen first, and he went right in. True, these guys are about the size of a big cat, but it was a good sign. He also went into the pen to pet the calves. As odd as it was for us, it was the ducks that got the most of his interest. I don't know what kind of ducks they were, but they were huge. They weren't geese and they weren't swans, but whatever they were, we had to drag him out of that area kicking and screaming. No offense to anyone who's into birds, but we're really hoping he gets turned onto pets that are furry. Those birds live forever and well, I don't know.

When we finished the circuit of all the animals, we headed over to the water area. This was a really cool area designed for the little ones. There was actually a place for kids who were probably not more than 2 that we started at, and then we moved over to the bigger area. He had a BLAST! He was running from one squirting area to another. You could tell that people came to the farm just for the water. I could see doing that. There were picnic tables and Adirondack chairs set up all over for the adults, so you could just kick back while your kids went crazy. The farm was definitely a really cool place to go.
