Lunch at Lemon Rose Farm

I took the day off today because I had no-one to look after the kids. I used the opportunity to take them to Lemon Rose Farm for lunch... for them to play... and for me to play too :)
We were the only people there, surprisingly. And I must say, I've been loathe to go there until now because of the dangerous fish pond, but they've finally put a net over it... so now we'll go there more often.

Oooh, and... I was finally using my manual function on the camera... so here are the best of the lot... there were loads of duds.

Connor had a ball on this old spring-loaded rocking horse.

And the rest of the pics are all about the birds...
This one has to be my favourite shot of the day.
Chicken head

Connor had a ball trying to chase the geese. And as you can see they weren't happy. I wasn't happy either actually, geese are vicious, so I ended up trying to stand between the geese and him.

The balding ostrich. She wasn't too keen on looking at me today. I've posted photos of her before. Very strange actually, because they actually have 3 birds... 2 female and 1 male... and this bald lady is the only one I've managed to capture nicely.

Farms are such fun places to visit. I know sometimes it seems like I live on one too, but we're missing out on the birds. Glad everyone had fun, I really like the ostrich pic too. :) We saw butterflies over the weekend.
