Video from our Weekend with the Grandkids

As I've written in a previous blog entry, we had a really nice time and a fun-filled day with the kids over the weekend. I shot quite a few photos and even captured some video of our day. We started at 'Shelburne Farms'... then went out to lunch at 'The Olive Garden'.... then headed over to 'The Christmas Loft' where it is Christmas every day of the week! (The kids knew we were going to the farm but had no idea we planned to also go to 'The Olive Garden' for lunch and then back down the road to 'The Christmas Loft'... it was a nice surprise for them and it was their first visit here.) I know the kids had a great time and Sheila and I also had a great time. Here is a short five minute video with some clips from both 'Shelburne Farms' and 'The Christmas Loft'... (I'll post some photos soon...  even some photos that were shot by Lukey!)

A Fun Filled Day with the Kids

After parking the car and paying our admission, we took a wagon ride to the old barn...  The kids got to play with sheep, goats, a couple of baby calves, and then learned how to lend a hand at milking the mother cow. We then headed to the learning play area, followed by spending some time in the chicken coop with some very animated and noisy, clucking and cock-a-doodling chickens and roosters. Lukey got to spend some time on an antique tractor and then we made our way outdoors again to see some bunnies, more chickens, more cows, some horses... then some surprisingly  HUUUGGGGEEE pigs... then some donkeys (Shrek was nowhere to be found though).  Shelburne Farms... the barn and farmyard in the majestic building in the background. The kids learned a bit about making cheese and then
