last weekend, we spent a lovely afternoon at Great Brook Farm State Park in Carlisle
amidst the cows, chickens, goats, pigs and rabbits
we walked some of the trails, of which there are over 20 miles worth
filled with mountain bikers, horseback riders, and hikers like us
in the winter, they offer cross country skiing and a lantern lined trail for
what they call “moonlight skiing”
sounds like a lot of fun to me…we will have to dust off our skis this winter!
we ended our visit at the ice cream stand
and of course, being a dairy farm,
it was some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had.
sorry…I didn’t photograph it 😦
I’m late in posting this
the week just kinda got away from me
and it’s already Friday!
I’m so ready for the weekend
as you probably are too…
Hope it’s a great one!!
It’s great that kids can get to experience the farm animals like this! Have a wonderful weekend.
Isn’t it?! I loved watching the kids petting and feeding those animals…the expression on their faces! Hope you are enjoying your weekend as well!
Love the “on the farm” post! The last one made me smile!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love seeing children react to animals on the farm. Your photos are so fun and touching.
Thanks Charlie, I can’t wait to someday have a few grandchildren to share this place with!
This looks like such a fun place to visit, Susan.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
It was an afternoon well spent. Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous fall weekend!
That sounds and looks like a great place. I’ve never heard of Carlisle, MA. I’m not native to MA so there’s so many towns that are unfamiliar. Have a great weekend!
It’s a beautiful town near Concord actually. Don’t feel bad Becky, I grew up here and I’m still unfamiliar with many of the towns. Hope you are enjoying this first day of fall!!
The cow coming thru the opening…be still my heart.This one needs framed my friend.
Thank you! They are such gentle animals, aren’t they?
Looks like a great way to spend a weekend afternoon! I wish we had farms like that here.
It was a great afternoon and I was very impressed with how clean and well kept that farm was. We will definitely head back there again soon.
What a way to enjoy a weekend. Love the tongue stuck out, but all the captures were great. I miss my chickens… 😦
It was a fun afternoon! Those chickens were quite the characters…you should just get more!
Sadly (not really) I’ve moved from my six acres into town. A single Banty might be possible, but not likely.
We have a bunch of wild turkeys in our yard…that’s enough for me!
We had wild turkeys at the old place, too, but never got any eggs from them! 😉
Wonderful pictures, so cute of the little one, not sure what he thinks about that animal! Precious.
Thank you..It actually was a she (so hard to tell!) and just before I snapped this photo, the calf had stuck her tongue out…she was just mimicking! So cute to see!
These are so clear and beautiful! What a fun day!
Thank you! It was fun watching the kids interact with all the animals…made me wish for some grandchildren!
Hahaha better start dropping some hints lol
Oh I have been! 🙂
These are great photos! Love the baby’s tongue. 🙂 And any farm that has Holstein cattle is my kind of farm. Looks like you had a great time.
It was one of the nicest, cleanest, well run farms I’ve ever been to! Fun to visit! Thank you!
