During the Easter holidays we have been having a big spring clean, but to treat ourselves for all our hard work, we have had a couple of nice days out together. One day was spent at Monk Park Farm near Thirsk, which is basically a farm for kids! Me and Isabelle had been last summer with friends, but it is just as good second time around! They have all the normal farm animals: cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens, goats, etc and a few extras like shetland ponys, llamas, highland cows, wallabies and deer! It is all very hands on and you have the opportunity to feed and pet all the animals. Isabelle was cautious, but loved it and Lee was enjoying feeding all the animals, as you can see!!
We thought the lambs were hilarious!! The workers organized all the kids into a horse shoe shape and then they gave the bottles of milk to some of the kids. Then everyone had to shout to wake up the lambs and they came bounding out of the barn and straight to the bottles!! They were so fast drinking! Isabelle was giggling the whole time!
Here is Isabelle holding a little chick! They were so tame. They just sat there being held and chirped for the kids!! Isabelle was so thrilled!!
There was even a playground which as you can see, Isabelle loved!!
A wonderful day out, would recommend it to anyone! Happy Easter to everyone!!
