To think everyone should be tired, sunburnt having been to the open farm Sunday today?

[ICanHearYou]

Because we are! We had a great day holding baby animals and ferrets, donkey rides and archery and lots and lots of exciting things for the children to do.

Open Farm Sunday happens every year in June and is a great time for families to visit the farm!

Err we have had the heaviest rain showers today that I have ever seen in my life so YABU

Dd is sunburnt.

She wore a stroppy dress while we were put supporting the runners in the local half marathon.

Sorry I failed to mention it before the event(s) bad form

Best thing to do would be to google it and find out when your nearest one is.

Do you guys not have sun lotion? Or are you "Irish pale"?

We went to one today too. Donkey rides, trailer rides, cows, sheep and moths!!

Hot, tired and grubby = good
Sunburnt = very bad

Corus- ours had cake and ice cream and a barbecue :-)

Pictures- a stroppy dress?!

I'll make a note for next year. Sounds fun.

I want a stroppy dress. Perfect for MNing in.

Well she is almost 13!

No strops today though. Just one from ds complaining his legs were tired from standing! Tell that to the runners who has just run up 'heartbreak hill'

Where does one find 'stroppy' dresses - I think my son needs one...!

Lol. On holiday in Tenerife.

Me typing fast on my phone coupled with autocorrect does cause some strange spellings at times!

I want a stroppy dress!

And I want it NOW!

I'm tired, I've been majorly de-cluttering my house this week. Today I've caught up with washing and ironing. I've petted 2 hamsters while they've been cleaned out!

My kids are too old for farms, but they do sound like a good day out if you've got younger ones.

YABVVU to allow your Dc to be sunburnt.
Why do you think this is desirable or the mark of a nice day out

I was at work

but the dcs had an epic time in the garden with their dad

Ours had bouncy castles, ferret racing, vintage tractors, a tiny big wheel, cream teas and other cakes, amazing hot dogs (with rubbish buns, dry and rubbish)

Pony rides, archery and puppet shows - oh and tiny weenie baby pigs :)

The only things missing was a hog roast and a bar...

oh MrsCripps it's a light hearted thread no?

There is no lighthearted on MN Lila.

Yes we went it was great! I am tired and my neck is sunburnt too.

Oh fuck well sorry- but if you have watched someone die of melanoma then you dont find sunburn very funny
Sorry ill be off

I knew someone would be on here perfect-mothering about the sunburn comment

You can't have a hog roast where there are tiny weenie baby pigs!

Won't somebody think of the children?
