We started the day at Noelridge Park playing at a Splash Pad. When we got there, there were maybe 6 other kids around Corrine's age or younger playing at the pad, when we left there were 30 kids mostly Simeon's age or older and it was too busy, so it was good timing for the kids to be cold and ready to go.
We then headed to Beaver Park.
At the farm there is a meerkat area. We were able to see 1 meerkat out each time we walked by it.
There were ducks, goats, roosters, chickens, pigs, cows, a rabbit, a ferret a few birds and chinchilla.
There was a white chicken walking around that thought the stroller was very interesting. It started pecking at the shinny area on the tire, then was pecking at the footrest. It stayed around the stroller for a good 5 minutes.
Outside of the farm you can walk down a path to another area that has ponds and more ducks. The kids were finding the animal feet in the cement on the path and figuring out which animal had made them.
After the farm we read about the history of the area, and decided to go visit the boulder that was talked about in the history. It was huge and is the only one like it around.
There used to be more 'zoo type animals' when it was a zoo long ago. It is now just farm animals. There were also other fun things at the park, including a nice pool, an educational path to walk on, a big wooded area with picnic areas and a really neat play area with a metal firetruck to climb on. At one time there were 2 real firetrucks for the kids to play on.
