A Visit to Shelburne Farms

I admit it, I've been waiting since my twin grandsons were born 15 months ago to take them for a visit to the Childen's Farmyard at nearby Shelburne Farms...We have been practicing "Old MacDonald" and animal sounds for weeks!
The day was glorious, the weather perfect, and no place is lovelier than Frederick Law Olmstead designed Shelburne Farms.
The Children's Farmyard was delightful, full of kids, school groups, parent, teachers, grandparents...and chickens! Chickens of every stripe and color...plus sheep, goats, pigs, cows, bunnies, donkeys, well, you name it.
Forget what you know about petting zoos, Shelburne Farms is perfect - clean, educational, environmentally sensitive, and so beautiful it can take your breath away! If you live in or travel to Vermont and have young children, it is a must. If you live in the Chittenden County area, check with your local library as they may have a day pass you can borrow for the day.
