Remlinger Farms

We battled major heat on Saturday afternoon and went to Remlinger Farms. We had a great time. There were not very many people there, probably because it was so hot, so we had easy access to everything. We went for a boat ride, a train ride, rode on some tractors, survived a suffocating hay maze, visited some farm animals, and rode on an old fire engine. The train ride was one of the first thing we did and both Hailey and Tyler loved it. After being at the farm for about an hour both kids skin was flaming red on their faces and arms. Not to worry, it isn't a sunburn, our kids skin just can't handle heat! Hailey's poor hair/head was soaked under her hat. So, we cooled off in the air-conditioned restaurant and had ice cream! That made us all feel better and we were back for more fun. Hailey loved the animals, especially the ducks.....she even "quacked" at them. Tyler almost made friends with a black sheep but right as he made eye contact and started to walk toward the sheep to pet him, the sheep opened his mouth, stuck out his toungue, and made the loudest "baaa" you've ever heard. Tyler was terrified and instantly ran for cover behind me. He was obviously emotionally scarred but it was one of the funniest things to experience from a parent perspective. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. At the end of the afternoon we probably spent 20-30 minutes just playing on the fire engine. Tyler had a blast pretending he was a fireman and moving all about the fire truck. Hailey was completely happy to walk up and down the side stairs....and then climb up high where it was hard to reach her.
