After lunch, we finished up the second half of the park. First we visited Noah’s Ark, which Joel had been wanting to see since we first arrived. On the backside of the ark, they have built little water canals that are waist high for children. The canals are filled with various boats, animals, and other toys. The boys loved it, and could have easily spent the entire day there.
Next we went to the farm area where children can groom the horses and milk the cows. It is hard to tell whether Joel likes dirt and trucks or animals more. He loved these animals and wanted to keep milking and then would take his bucket to the cows to give them a drink (since it was really just water).
Behind the farm was a western themed section. Amongst other things, the boys could use sieves and pan for gold (tiny rocks painted gold that were buried in the sand).
They had a new sand and water section that was just built this past summer. The boys loved it and could have spent the whole day there (have I already said that?!).
And if all these previous things weren’t enough to do, they also had a huge indoor play area. This included tables and chairs for eating, and then various stations for all the Playmobil sets. There were multiples of everything they sell, and of the smaller figures (people & animals) probably 50-100 of each kind. They had a lovely room nearby for mothers with small babies, so whenever Hannah needed to eat, Stephen would go play with the boys while I nursed Hannah. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely go back some day!
This must be, of all enchanted places for children, THE MOST enchanted! What wonderful pictures and memories!
