Day 14: The Farm

 This Airbnb on a 300+ acre farm in Arkansas deserved its own post. Mostly because I have too many cow pictures to post. Now, I am aware that not all people love farms and cows and beautiful scenes overlooking the Ozarks, but it's my blog and if you don't like cows you can skip on to the next post.

Since we arrived so late the night before, and this place was epic, we decided to give the kids  slow morning to enjoy the atmosphere...and cows.

We got to the house late but the owners said they would wait on us to feed the baby cows. Um, excuse me...baby cows?! You should have seen the look on my face Rainy's face when we told her that! The owners showed up to greet us with an ATV and a 4-wheeler. We hadn't even unpacked the van before piling into these two vehicles and heading to the cow pasture on the property to find the hungry babies and give them dinner. These were two little orphan calves. There are several other babies on the properties that were being taken care of by their mamas.

After feeding the babies we hopped back on our rides and they took us to the crest of their property that overlooks the Ozarks to watch the sun set. Oh my gosh. It was beautiful! Then on to "the cave" which we had to make sure was clear of bats before entering. And then back up to another overlook before heading back to the van to unpack and get comfortable for the night.

This one by far one of Rainy's highlights of the entire trip.
