There’s a place called Slide Ranch by Muir Beach in the North Bay… and it’s amazing!<\/p>\n
It’s a working farm, and today they held an open house for kids. They were showing folks how to make pickles, milk goats, sheer a sheep, and a bunch more. We went to gym, hooked up with the Greens, and then made our way over to Muir Beach.<\/p>\n
I get so nauseas going north on CA1. It’s just too windy for me. But we were only on it for 10 miles or so to get to the farm. We got our stickers, and headed straight for the goat milking. I tried to get the kids to do it, but they wouldn’t. I jumped in, and it didn’t go so well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The babies got face paint done. Amelia got a black sheep and a bee. Luka a tiger!<\/p>\n
We had a picnic lunch, checked out the bee hives & chicken coop, and then ended our adventure by trying to felt a cat. That went awfully \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It was tons of fun though!<\/p>\n
