Saturday: A Day in the Life

Today our family went to Red Bluff Farm's Pumpkin Patch. We had so much fun! The farmer did a tour of the farm and the kids got to see him shear a sheep and milk a cow. Plus everyone got a chance to bottle-feed a calf and fish with a cane pole in the pond. We also went on a hay ride and saw the horses, cows, and chickens. Keeleigh's friend, Stuti, went with us so she enjoyed herself all the more.

After leaving the farm we ate and went to Fountainebleau State Park. It was awesome. The park has a nature trail that leads you into the marshland at the edge of Lake Ponchatrain where we actually saw an alligator sunbathing on the grassy bank.

The park also had a beach where we got our feet wet and searched for seashells. People were fishing off the boardwalk and we got to see a lady catch a fish and learn about crab fishing. (You could see the crabs underwater in the marsh!)

We had a wonderful day and will definitely return to the state park to explore more. Here's a slideshow of our day:
