Day 3 - Grant's Farm

A much better day!  We spent the morning at Grant’s Farm.  This place was a lot of fun for the kids.
Grant's Farm starts off with a tram ride around the property to view the old cabins there and all the animals that are now on the land.  We saw buffalo, deer, donkeys, ducks, geese, ostrich, peacocks, and a lot of different kinds of cows. 
 
 
 
 
After the tram ride, we checked out the baby goats.
 
 
 
 
Next, we went to the Animal Encounters show.  This was mostly a bird show with a pig and some rats thrown in.  Elaina's favorite part was the parrots that could roller skate and do math. 
 
 
Brielle wanted to volunteer to be part of the show, but I was very happy she wasn't chosen when I saw that the kids that went up had just volunteered to be part of a rat race.  Ewwww!
 
 
After that, it was off to the elephant show.  We had the perfect seats, back far enough that when the elephant sprayed water at the audience it stopped just at the row in front of us.   
 
 
Finally, we walked around the farm to see the kangaroos, wallabies, guinea pigs, chickens, eagles, owls , hawks, and Clydesdale horses.
