Today was our first full day in Ohio, and we decided to go to the nearby Slate Run Metro Park, to visit the historical farm, have a picnic lunch, and play in the creek.
Simon was happy to find some blackberries in the bushes next to the parking lot.
Alice enjoyed pumping water the old-fashioned way.
Simon enjoyed looking through the stereoscope at the historic home.
Alice's favorite part was the barn.
We got to see them raise hay using a horse and pulley system.
Simon liked meeting his fellow turkeys.
Some pig is going to be really happy with its dinner!
While Alice and Cam went back in the barn for a long time, Simon and I enjoyed hanging out in the shade of a tree with a view of the farm, where he gathered feathers and generally entertained himself.
After the farm, we drove to a different part of the park and had a picnic lunch.
Then we headed down to the creek for a couple of hours, where Zac and Simon looked for crawdads while Alice explored and drew on flat rocks.
Then we walked back to the parking lot and headed home for supper.
