After making the Sushi, we went to Fairfield CityFarm. The admission fees is $45 for a family of 2 Adults and 3 children. Channery is under 3 yrs old so she has free admission. We went in for the tractor ride around the farm. The tractor ride is $2 per pax and we spent a further $10.
The farm was rather small but interesting enough. We went into the animal nursery and children get to touch the little lambs and kids ( Goats' babies) . Children loved the playground there where they played with the excavator. They enjoyed digging the soil. After which we had our lunch. We had hotdog, chicken burger, french fries and of course our Sushi. The sushi tasted quite nice even though it's our first time doing it. After lunch, we went to watch a Sheep shearing show. The sheep was struggling and the inexperienced Shearer had a hard time finishing his show. Interesting as he is only doing one show a day.
After that, we went to the working dog show. It was just like the movie "babe" whereby the dogs are able to listen to instructions fron the farmer. The dogs are so cute. Even did tricks for us. Can you imagine we seen the show while there was a drizzle??
After the dogs' show, children went back as "BOB The Builder" They have lots of child's play with the equipment. Sometimes having them to invent their own games is fun. They simply ahve lots of ideas. They were so engrossed that they missed the " Koala Talk Exhibition" at 2pm. I was the only one there as Joe was overseeing the kids at play. I am very sleepy and had to have my sip of coffee so I took a seat listening to the farmer. Guess what if you carry the Koala bear like a baby, you will hurt its ribs. In Australia, it's illegal to carry a Koala Bear and the way to handle them is to pull them by their wrists.
Children would continue to be builders if not for a sudden shower. We went into the animal nursery again. Children kept asking Daddy to let them buy the $10 baby rabbit but dad said no. The landlord had mentioned there will be no pet in our rented house. Anyway, the animal feeding time started and children were busy doing the fun things. they had the chance to pat the rabbit and fed the lambs. Hungry animals can be very scary where you see them snatching and fighting for food.
After the feeding of animals, children decided to get back being the builders. We let them be as they were really very interested in their own game. Fifteen mins later we were at the "milking of the cow" station. The cow was led to the milking area with there head loosely tied to a stand of feed. The happy cow was fed and my children had a chance to milk the cow. I volunteered as the photographer as I definitely not interested.
Anyway, the children and I had a lot of fun today. When we reached home, I even had energy to cook fried bee hoon for them. Nowadays, I am really quite happy being the chef. :>
