Maplewood Farm

On Sunday we decided to take the kids to Maplewood Farm in North Vancouver. Maplewood Farm is a petting zoo, with mostly farm animals, but also rabbits, peacocks, Macaws, and even budgies and a cockatoo.
Both Alex and Olivia love animals and Alex was beside himself with what he wanted to see first.
His main mission was to see a REAL cow. He got to see two real cows and a newborn calf. The calf was yet unamed. There was a competition to "name the baby girl calf", we entered "Matilda".
There were a ton of baby goats running aroudn butting heads with each other, a baby donkey and some miniture ponies and some beautiful white lambs. It was so much fun for the kids, well planned out and relatively cheap to get in.
Alex was still talking about all the animals he saw today and was talking about being a vet so the animals wouldn't get sick - I guess the fireman idea has been dropped!
