Wellwood Orchard

'Tis fall in New England again. This is our 6th fall and just as beautiful. The boys and I took a little field trip to Wellwood Orchard in Springfield, Vermont on Friday while Claire was in school and we had a wonderful time. We had some lunch and tormented the petting zoo.

What could possibly scare 5 small children THIS much? Answer: a chicken. Yes, that is right, all kids climbed up on the table terrified of the chicken. You can see a picture of the GINORMOUS BEAST in the LAST picture posted.

Luckily they warmed up once we entered the petting zoo. Especially Adam. This kid CHASED the rabbits and chickens. Then in an effort to distract him and give the chickens a break, I showed him the pigs. Those poor, poor pigs. Adam sure got their blood boiling.

We moved on to the goats to give the pigs/rabbits and chickens a break. Lucky for Adam, he liked the goat just as much, if not more than the previously stated animals.

Then to the cow. Now the cow, he finally decided not to mess with. Good. He's getting smarter. Check out the goat in the background on TOP of the bunny house. How stinking cute is that?!

This is the chicken that was terrifying all the other children. HUGE, SCARY chicken! It seems we need to toughen those kids up a little huh?
