Jackie Moon and Bella Buttonian: A Visit to The Deanna Rose Farmstead

This weekend the weather was perfect for a visit to The Deanna Rose Farmstead. For those of you not from the area or if you don't have children, Deanna Rose Farmstead is an amazing farm with every farm animal imaginable! It's free to enter and has a lot to offer the kids. Here are some of the animals they have, cows, goats, sheep, ponies, draft horses and miniature horses, donkeys, chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks, bison, longhorn steer, prairie dogs, bobcats and birds of prey. It's really amazing! There is a fishing pond, pony rides (for kids 3 years and up) and wagon rides. We decided to go visit the farmstead firsthand this weekend. We went with our friends Bart, Jenny, Chase and Maia. Good times were had by all. The kids were able to bottle feed baby goats. We were nervous about how they would do with this but they LOVED it!! They loved petting and following them around. Bella was a little more nervous at first but she got over it once she saw all the other kids. We also took a nice walk on a nature trail where Bella and Maia held hands and pretended they were in a fantasy forest. We ate lunch in a big pavilion and were able to play on several play areas spread out throughout the farm. When the day was done, we were tired but had learned so much about all the animals and plants. We will definitely be making this visit again! Next stops.... The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha and the pumpkin patch here in Kansas City, in October. Lots of fall fun planned!!
