Poor Ryan has been traveling all week so we have really missed him and he us. We wanted to spend the day together doing something fun but since we are sometimes not the most creative of people we couldn't think of anything. Luckily around 11am I remembered an article I just read about cheap things to do around the area and it said something about the Little Farm at Tilden Park in Berkeley. Perfect, cheap and full of animals for Avery! In fact they can even feed the animals lettuce or celery through the fence. We piled into the car and headed down there. It was really neat. The name pretty much describes it perfectly. It is a Little Farm with cows, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, pigs, rabbits, roosters, and geese. Avery loved feeding the animals and would call to them if they wouldn't come over fast enough. The animals are really tame and even the cows walked up to the fence when we called them.
We then drove over to the steam train and took a little ride. It's a real working steam train, albeit on a smaller than normal scale. It's only 12 min but Avery really seemed to have fun.
It was a great day! We were joking that we only spent $6 for the activities but probably $10 in gas! (at $4.15/gallon that is probably about right!)
We are so lucky to live in an area that has so much to do!
None of the animals even tried to bite her fingers. Good thing since she had no fear of putting her fingers in their "space"
Just a little train but really cute.
