On Saturday we went to the Littleton Historical Museum. It is an old farm where they do things the old fashioned way. Spring is always fun since there are baby animals. First stop was the donkeys. Next weekend they are going to hook them to a plow and get the ground ready for planting. I bet they'll be tired. They don't get a lot of exercise normally.
The new grass is very tempting. This cow is reaching through the fence for a taste.
Inside of a cabin on the farm. Lots of old time stuff. One room downstairs and all of the beds are upstairs.
Claire needs a hand down and Ryan is her buddy.
In the barn the boys found old time pitch forks. They might not be so enthusiastic if they really had to use them and work on a farm!
Denya wants someone to push her in the wheelbarrow.
Sitting on a little wagon.
There is nothing as fun as shuffling in the dirt.
They have 9 new baby lambs. This one is enjoying the warm sun.
Driving some old farm implements.
Claire wants part of the action.
She also wants to drive the wagon. Too bad there are no horses to pull it.
Now there's a wagon full of Palmer's.
I don't think that is a real horse, Denya.
But Claire still thinks that it is fun.
This is the old school house. Delwyn must be the teacher and Blake is probably in detention.
The good students!
Time for a rest overlooking the pond.
The blacksmith is making a nail. It is mighty hot.
Okay, you could probably guess who would find the horses first.
A bunch of chickens. Mom, can I take it home?
The peacock decided that he wanted to put on a show. Pretty impressive.
Trust these three to find a cat to pet.
What a pair in the toolshed.
Sometimes the most fun thing is a rolling log.
One more love on the kitty before we leave. The farm makes us thankful for all the modern conveniences we have!
