UK: Day 12

This morning we all lay in a bit, probably due to the food-induced coma we all fell asleep in last night! So after a slow and lazy morning, we made our way to The Ark Pet Farm. Tarrin had originally wanted us to visit a different farm, but since it's closed over the holiday season, we tried this other one out, and we were not disappointed!

Although it's pretty hidden from the road, once you enter you find it's pretty big, with a lot of activities on offer, and animals to pet. They even have a Creepy Crawly Loft with snakes and spiders! Needless to say, we stuck to the farm animal variety.

The cow and its calf - only a few weeks old

Zac feeding the donkey

Getting acquainted with the sheep and her lambs

Getting Andel to feed the animals

Sitting in front of the manger scene - apt, isn't it?

Isla was a little apprehensive at first...

The daddies feeding the alpacas

Zac's favourite was the goats

Outside on the trail en route to the lake

Zac checking out the geese

Isla loves the ducks and readily says "quack, quack"

In the play area driving a pick up truck

Isla gets a turn too

Zac gets to hold a week-old chick

Isla finally gets her chance too

Today was so much fun. Zac and Isla loved it, and despite the biting cold, even the adults had a good time. Plus, is there anything better than ending the day by coming home to left over Christmas lunch? Probably not!
