It seems I missed a post from June. We took the kids to Hidden Valley Animal Adventure in Varysburg, about 30 minutes east of East Aurora. We rode on a trolley behind a tractor and were able to feed all sorts of interesting animals.
Like this guy.
Another breed of Asian cattle.
Female elk.
They were eager. Elliott had a blast.
All smiles.
A herd of bison with many young.
They come right up and you pour the food into their mouths.
Randy the dromedary. Elliott impressed quite a few people with his knowledge of dromedary.
Have you feed a zebra recently?
Highland cattle.
Longhorn cattle. Those horns were HUGE!
Another eager eater.
These reindeer are trained to bow their heads so you can feel their antlers. Unfortunately they did not visit our area of the trolley.
Thank you, google, for this vintage pic.
After the trolley ride, we went to the petting zoo area. The donkeys were quite persistent.
Jesse helped Elliott feed one. Elliott had a close encounter with the teeth of an aggressive miniature horse. We went back to this place today. On the way there, Elliott said, "the horse is in time out. It bited me."
We were lucky be able to help feed the baby goats.
Lucy reached out for the bottle. Sharing is caring!
Looking in on the baby chickens.
And the bunnies.
We ate lunch in the grill but checked out the formal dining room while we waited for our food. There were two of these enormous antler chandeliers. They make them from the fallen antlers from their animals. They must be 14-16 feet in diameter.
Back at home, Jesse and I installed new toilets in two of our bathrooms. Elliott then sat on a potty with a view!
This one is a keeper!
