Today we joined some friends of mine from school at Lambs Farm in good old Libertyville. As a kid myself, I only knew Lambs Farm as the place I could see from the expressway that was about 10 minutes from Great America :) So seeing Lambs Farm was probably around the time that Andy and I started driving our mom crazy trying to be the one who saw the American Eagle ride first! But now I know that Lambs Farm is a farmyard/kiddie entertainment place that also provides adults with special needs a place to live and work. Despite driving by Lambs Farm at least once a year when I was a kid, and it being 10 minutes away from our house, I had never been there before today. Its a great place for kids Gavin's age, because it was low key enough for him to have his run of the place, and had enough activities to entertain him until nap time!
As we discovered at the fair on Sunday, Gavin is currently only interested in viewing animals from behind their cages/gates, so although there is a petting zoo at Lambs Farm, we have no picture evidence that Gavin did actually go in (clutching my arm the whole time). But we did manage to get some other good pics of the fun: (**I know these pics are super blurry, I didn't realize that Gav had messed with the settings when I was taking these. But luckily these are the last bad pics you'll see on here, because today Ryan surprised me with a brand new camera! Much clearer pics coming soon!)
Gavin wasn't interested in getting close to the real animals, but he loved this ceramic pig!
Well, this fake pig smells a lot better than the real ones!
We went to Lambs Farm with two girls Gavin's age, but he refused to get on this swing until the girls were off. Someone has discovered cooties at the age of 2!
Deep thoughts on the swing
More fake animals, more fun!
Gavin definitely loves carousels.
I love this pic of Gav and I on the "choo choo."
I couldn't resist taking a pic of the sign you can see from the expressway.
All tuckered out!
