Visit to Old McDonalds


 

It is warm, sunny, above is what is coming, I hope I am healthy enough to get out and away from this for awhile this winter.
.
Well as we end September and head into October next week it has been great weather, sunny, warm, very little wind, the leaves are changing fromm green to great fall colors.
.
We took the Grandson and went to Old Mc'Donalds Farm in Sackets Harbor for our annual trek to the farm.  This year was as much fun as last year.

.

.
Old McDonalds has animals, a corn maze, barns, cows, bunnies, chickens, goats, a camel, horses, donkeys, pigs, turkeys and all other types of animal, fish and foul.
.

.
The Goats love popcorn, thankfully they did not bite but did grab my Honey's hand.
.

.
Brent and I feeding the "Hog", this thing was huge and had some awful mean looking tusks curved around his jaw!!!

.

.
Outside the Raindeer shed we stood in the shade, it was hot in the sun, but "Frosty" didn't melt.
.

.
This Raindeer has been at the farm a long time, his antlers are in the "Velvet" and he is kind of mean right now and didn't like his picture taken as he hit the fence with his antlers.
.

.Brent with some shed antlers!  We have been coming here for over 20 years and each visit is intere4sting.   They have a restaurant, ice crème shop and souvernier shop and sell flour, syrup, honey and other items.
.

.This is our 12 year old Grandson, he is gonna be a "Big-Un" !!!   We love him !!!
.

.
This is the only type of Golf  I play !!!
.

.
We went on a "hay ride" out to see some more animals and the "Land of Oz" !
.

.
This is "Daddy Long Legs", this thing is 8 feet tall, I forgot what type of a bull it was.
.

.
Daddy Long Legs simply reached into the wagon to be fed hay, he is big !!!
.

.
The farm has a big Corn Maze, it has the Wizard of Oz theme, it is easy to get lost in and also fun to wander around in,  the corn this year is big, over 8 feet tall and the corn has big ears of corn, lasy year was a drought and the corn yield was really poor.
.

.
We finally met up at the castle.
.


.
Anna Mae found the flying monkeys.
.

.
I found the Old Witch!!
.

.
We came out of the Maze, in back of us is the huge Pumpkin Patch, they had some monsterous pumpkins and the cost $$$$$$$.
.


.
In the barns were donkeys, horses, miniature horses and they do bite.
.

.
Anna Mae and Brent on the "Billy Goat Gruff" bridge.
.

.
It was hot, the Alpacas layed down, this one is sunning his belly,  we noticed they would come and throw water on the huge pigs. they said they had to cool them down due to the amount of fat they carried around from eating all day.
.


.The Duck Pen was closed, we could see them all huddled in a mass in the back, don't know why
. it was closed.

.
My Honey looking at the Koi Fish and 2 Mallard ducks with broken wings.
.

Enjoying ourselves !
 

.
We enjoyed the farm and being togeather.
