After wanting to visit Kelsey Creek Farms for a few months we finally made it happen. We went a few weeks ago on a Friday morning and we were simply delighted with what we saw. Amidst sun breaks and acres of green grass we watched sheep, a pig, goats, cows, roosters and bunnies. It was exciting to see the animals which Jasper has mainly read about in books walking, talking and interacting with him. Some of the highlights of Kelsey Creek Farm for us did not have much to do with the animals and were more about the two large sand boxes with trucks, the metal Lil' Johnny Deere and the ability to run free in a new environment. I was impressed with how well maintained the facilities were and that we are able to have so much fun without a high price admission fee.

Picking dandelions and running up and down this well worn path kept Jasper entertained for a good half hour. It is fun to see what captures a child's imagination and how the littlest thing can have them smiling from ear to ear. It is a good reminder how we take so many things for granted like the ability to walk, run and see. As a photographer I am constantly searching for a new perspective and finding new ways to tell a story, but this little boy has opened my eyes to a world of constant wonder and amazement. If you need some inspiration in the mundane spend the afternoon with a toddler and they will surely open your eyes to every nook and cranny of the world you have never taken the time to notice.

Jasper loved these information signs that were throughout the property. I like to think he is reading them and absorbing the informaton, but he really likes to just open and shut them repeatedly.
