September 24, 2006

we arrive before the crowds.

everyone is excited to visit the farm

sam picks up some leaves to feed the animals

i wonder if we will see old macdonald

a bench to sit and stare at a wagon?

hey horses, why the long face?

samantha moves in for a closer look.

lots of warnings can be found throughout the farm

left over tulip festival decorations.

sam wonders if she is related since they have the same curly hair

cluck-cluck!

samantha checks out the the new arrivals.

he must have eaten most 'experimental' food
