This is the second year we have gone to stay at a farm over the kids spring break. We go for a long weekend to let the boys loose in the country and this year we stayed at Hinch Creek Cottages. (our cabin on picture left) It’s a fun weekend with no agenda except to meet up with our friends in the country at some point – this year it was to picnic at Maramec Spring State Park.
Although, the weekend is a ton of fun, it’s rather exhausting too – must be the country air, or trying to catch up with the boys, but this year it was Emma. It was a hard year for her to go because she is just into EVERYTHING in the cabin and outside she is not so steady on her feet yet. I think I said, “No Emma.” about a million times! She got a good scrape across her nose from falling off the cabin front porch steps and then a rug burn from falling down some of the cabin’s inside steps – I was maybe a foot away from her each time!
The owners of Hinch Creek, Sam and Nora, raise goats and while we were there were several pregnant goats. A couple of the mama goats gave birth the day before we arrived so we were able feed these sweet newborn goats. It was really neat and way different than Grants Farm – they aren’t trying to knock you over to get to the bottle.
Here are some highlights of the weekend…
