wheeler farm

Some things I liked about Wheeler Farm (It was my first time there):

the birds roaming the grounds that the kids could follow
the huge, shady, grassy area perfect for a picnic
the little (yet long) stream for the kids to play in
&
it's free!

Walking around the grounds to see the goats, tractors and
barns are fun for the kids too- if it's not too hot.

This guy even showed us how to make wool into thread.

Lots of tractors to see...

And finally cooling off in the shady stream.

I can see a huge family gathering going on here... 

seems like a great place to take the grandparents on a picnic!
