NC State Farm Days

Each year NC State puts on a program for families called Farm Days. They have lots of animals, booths set up about agriculture and their famous Howling Cow ice cream. Last year was our first time going. 
Reece was so tiny! And Hailey looked so little too! 

This year the kids were all in it! They loved looking at the animals. Reece cracked me up standing on his tip toes at every pen just so he didn't miss anything. 


And he really wanted to be face to face with this goat. He walked about 5 feet across the hay bales and stuck his face right into his. 
Hailey's favorite part was holding the baby chicks. In fact, when I told her we were going to Farm Days she said "Is that where I got to hold a baby chick in the red trough?" What?!  That girl forgets NOTHING!

Reece wanted nothing to do with the chicks and only poked them when we tried to get him to pet them. Ha!

The kids (and Ryan) enjoyed climbing on some tractors. 
We picked up some NC State footballs,
Hailey milked a cow,
Ground some corn
And then it was time for our favorite part. Ice cream! It was only 9:30 in the morning but who can pass up ice cream?!

We were all big fans! Thanks NC State for sharing your farm animals with us!
