We got a pack of yoghurts recently because I had heard they had vouchers in for this place, so we went today and got a discount on entry :) It was a beautiful not-a-cloud-in-the-sky type day so ideal for looking at the animals and playing in the adventure play area. Isaiah, however, chose instead to spend most of the time in the indoor sandpit and ride-on diggers area! He was also very enthusiastic about the tractor ride and hen house - both also under cover! He did have lots of fun in the adventure play area too, to be fair :) Oh, and he found the highland cows fascinating and stood watching them for a good 20 minutes. They came right up to us and Josh asked him if he thought the cow would say 'moo', to which isaiah replied "They're not cows, daddy, they're highland cows; you got it wrong didn't you"!
Jeremy squeeled with glee (a new sound he's discovered) at sitting in the sandpit too; I undid his dungarees so he could really experience the texture, and I poured the sand on his feet, legs and hands; he relished the new sensation and 'grabbing' the sand himself :) I even managed to let go of him for a while, though I was right next to him obviously - he sat up for the first time yesterday, leaning all the way forward, for a few seconds!
My favourite part of the day was egg collecting in the hen house! We got to go right in and Isaiah found some of the freshly-laid eggs and put them in the farmer's egg box! It's just fab for him to see where they come from and be involved in the process; I love it! In addition, I learnt that hens eat their eggs!
The view over the estuary to Wales was lovely as well :) I highly recommend the place; nice and low key too :)
