Babby's Farms

Yesterday we loaded up all of the girls and took the thirty minute trek out to Caldwell to visit a newly opened place called Babby's Farms. It was literally in the middle of no where, and the girls were perplexed where we were going, but it did NOT disappoint. It has been opened since either '01 or '03, but it just opened to the public on May first of this year. It was amazing. It has all sorts of exotic type animals: sloths, zebras, camels, zedonks, yaks, kangaroos, and a TON of others. The thing that is amazing is that you can literally get IN THE PENS that some of these animals are kept in and you can FEED and PET them. When in your life did most of you ever think you'd get the chance to pet and hand feed a kangaroo? AMAZING!!!! And the price is super reasonable. We paid 42 dollars and that included admission for 2 adults, 3 kids, 3 pony rides, and 5 bags of food to feed the animals. Anyways, it was a blast, and I HIGHLY recommend it to not only people with kids, but really anyone. Here is the link to their website: Babby's Farm


PICTURES COMING SOON.....just need to combine louis' and mine and go through them. Hopefully tonight!!!!!

****here are SOME of the pictures, the ones of my phone. I still need to get a bunch from Louis, so check back in a day or so****






The girls checking out a cavy





the little cavy just hanging out



my favorite- a sloth. THey have two, and this guy just sat there, hanging upside down, sleeping the whole time. What an awesome little dude.



This is the other sloth, I believe this one was the female.





All four of my loves lookig at one of my other loves-the sloth

















Louis feeding a yak





The girls feeding Sika deer. All the girls liked them, but Rachel loved these little guys.



A zebra and a zedonk ( half zebra, half donkey- at the right)





nothing like being photobombed by a zebra









The other pictures you see of camels are of one humped camels, these are thetwo humped ones. They were HUGE. I don't think I've ever seen a camel in real life and was shocked at how big these guys were.










This otter was awesome. He thought he wasa person. He followed us all around his little water area. After we walked away, he went to the corner, got one his back legs, and cried. It was awesome.







Louis and either a wallaby or wallaroo. I think this picture lookslike he could be in Australia, just hanging  out with this guy and petting him. What an awesome experience.
