Down on the Farm


Last Saturday I went with Jon, Ashlie, and the girls to Kilby Cream Farm. Since Friday's weather was perfect, we had hoped for the same, but no, it was cold and very windy. We spent a few minutes petting the animals; we really liked the miniature horses and baby calves. One of the calves was especially friendly and licked us just like a puppy. We were looking forward to the pony rides (not the miniatures) but they were cancelled due to the high winds (it spooked the ponies!). We stood in a LONG line for ice cream - believe me, it's worth it! We were really squished in there since everyone was eating inside in the warm cow-decorated room (think black and white spotted ceilings). After our sweet treat, the kids were ready to brave the cold and spend some time on the playground. Can you tell how much they loved the swings?

Kilby cream ice cream is really really good. I'd forgotten... we might need to go on a field trip one of these days. Those smiles on the swings are precious.

Where is this Kilby Farm?
Sally, it has been fun catching up on your blogs. Your granddaughters take such great pictures. I also want to tell you how much I appreciate you writing about your experience with Charlie. I know that was a special day for you.

Thanks Melissa & Lori. Kilby Cream Farm is in Rising Sun - I can give you directions. They have animals to pet, a playground and the MOST delicious ice cream that they make. We love going there.

They experience with Charlie was VERY special - I cling to it for hope and comfort. I was glad to share it with my friends.
