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.

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!
Looks like lots of fun!
