More Peoria Fun

We also went to Fondulac Farm Park with Grandma and Grandpa. Something about having visitors kicks me into gear to do things in the Peoria area I've wanted to do but haven't yet. We all had lots of fun seeing and feeding the animals and learning about life on a farm in the early 1900s.


The one room schoolhouse was a fun stop. The goats were the most fun to feed. We purchased "feed cones"- ice cream cones filled with feed that all the animals liked. The goats especially liked to eat the cone. The girls named all the goats, and they all had a lot of fun feeding and petting the goats. Coming home, they kept asking if we could get a goat. I told them I didn't think the Edgewild HOA would like that idea too much...



More goat pictures, plus this cute bridge that crosses the pond. There were ducks and geese in the pond, a horse, a cow, chickens and baby chicks, turkeys, sheep, a pig. In spite of the smell, there's something refreshing about visiting a farm.
