Deanna Rose Farmstead

This morning was beautiful and Johanna seemed ready to do something so I decided to take her to the Deanna Rose Farmstead in Overland Park. We have never been there before but all of my friends with kiddos talk about how awesome it is. Plus, it is FREE during the week.
When we first got there I couldn't believe how big it was. I thought it would be really small but it was very good sized and incredibly impressive.
They had about 5 different playgrounds.
A duck pond and ample seating and swings.
Cows and even play barns kids could climb up and take a fun slide down from the barn loft!
This place was big! I thought it was way more fun than even the Kansas City Zoo. TONS of interactivity for the kiddos.
Johanna got up close and personal with some cute little baby goats. We had to leave though when she tried to pick up some goat poo.
They had a children's garden sponsored by Kansas State. Beautiful!

"Hi Mommy!"
Too cute!
They even had a fishing pond where kids could rent poles and catch bluegills with corn bait.
Hey, she got one!
Johanna drove her first tractor - actually Mommy pushed her around the tractor track. We beat all the other kids.
We took a shady break to eat a Popsicle under the shade tree. I had to break off little pieces with my teeth and give them to her. I felt like a Mommy bird.
She loved the chickens until one of them pecked her a little bit.

I would have to say that the cows were her favorite. Here she is telling a little boy, "Cow! Cow!"

We had SUCH a fun time and I bet we go back many more times this summer. Maybe if we have any visitors they can come too!
