Easter on the farm

On Easter day, we decided to go on an outing.  We thought it would be a good day to go out because everyone would be home or with their families.  

We decided to visit an open farm about half an hour away.  There is one near our house, but so far the ones further away have been better!  And we discovered that plenty of people go out to do fun stuff on Easter as it was quite busy, but not unpleasantly so.

Its a great time to visit the farms as its baby lamb season.  We saw lots of babies (some born that day!) and lots of expecting mummies, but we didn't get to see any lambs being born.  Still it was fun to see the tiny animals - Susanna could have watched them for hours!

There was plenty to see and do.  Susanna spend quite a bit of time jumping on a trampoline and feeding the animals.

The big event for the day was the Pig Race - they let the hungry pigs out of the pen and they run (eventually) around the enclosure to the food at the other end.  The pigs all have funny names and people get excited and shout for them.
Some of the slightly bigger baby lambs.
Both kids got a pony ride.
Ben almost missed this because he didn't want to wait, but ended up wanting to go at the last minute.
Overall we had a lovely Easter at the farm!
