Adventure Sunday

After spending a lazy day in on Saturday, the kids were bonkers and we needed to get out. We decided to stop by our favorite farms the head out for a hike.
Our first stop was Sheldon Creek Dairy, Kate was asleep so I just hopped out and grabbed what we needed. Since Kate was a baby she has not been able to deal with dairy very well, poor girl always ended up with a burning bum. We tried several different alternatives but she never really liked anything so we never really pushed it. The milk from Sheldon Creek is local, unpasteurized, full fat and she's been very happy with it and no digestive issues. I don't know if it's the non pasteurized or what but she's able to drink milk now!
Next stop was to Rockcilffe Farm for some meats and other farm products. Owen was asking if we could see the cats again, luckily Alix, one of the owners, was in the shop and happily took us to the barn.

We were extremely lucky to see these two, born just
three hours before we got there. They were still
wet and you could still see the steam rising up off them

Of course Owen and Kate had to check out all the other
lambs and have their fingers nibbled. So many giggles

We made a quick stop for lunch then off to find some
trails for a hike

Parked here and ready to go. The snow had started but we
were up for the adventure

Quick group shot before we started

It was a beautiful trail that I had
not been on before. We were all wishing
we had brought our snowshoes

With these two in tow, there was always something
interesting to check out

They decided to slide down the bank only to find it pretty steep to get back up,
big brother to the rescue

We ventured off the trail to follow a beaver path and followed it along
for quite a bit

We somehow ended up on an old section
of the trail, the sign on the bridge says
"Trail Closed, Not Maintained"

So of course we had to check it out!
I was a good hour long hike and
eventually found our way back to the
car, headed home and enjoyed some
well deserved hot chocolate
