hovander homestead



acting on noah's newfound animal obsession, we took him last weekend to hovander homestead in ferndale. we'd been there shortly after noah's birth in the spring, at which point he was neither lucid enough nor awake enough to appreciate the farm animals, old farm equipment, views of mount baker and the nooksack river, etc. so this weekend we gave it another shot, and he was really excited about the birds. there were ducks, chickens, peacocks and a HUGE turkey all cackling, quacking, cock-a-doodle-do-ing, splashing, munching, etc. and we checked out the bunnies too, although he didn't seem as interested in them. the rest of the farm animals must be housed elsewhere for the winter, so we'll have to go back in a few months.



noah also enjoyed swinging on our laps and checking out the old tractors with aaron.
