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...
Linds, Ames and the kids

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!

Hi Sinika!
The hours that you posted for the farm don't show up. Just thought you should change the font color!
Your kids are growing up so fast!
