White Fence Farms

We have some friends from family camp, Jen and Scott, that live in Colorado Springs. We invited them to Tiny Town last weekend which they couldn't make but told us that they really wanted to try out White Fence Farms. So, being in the "trying out" mood that we've been in for the last month, we met them, along with their kids, Kyle and Sarah, up there last night.

The drive wasn't too far. I would say it's about half an hour from our house. We weren't expecting it to be in the middle of town though. It's in Lakewood, and seriously, IN Lakewood, like in the middle of it. But once you get parked and start walking around, the city really does fade away.

We got there early which was a good thing because people start lining up for dinner an hour before they even start serving! This has got to be good chicken! We fed some animals, which the kids loved. Then we found an awesome playground with a tree house in it. After making the boys take a picture of us up in the tree house we sent them off to wait in line. Turns out it didn't take long because they were giving out numbers. Once they opened the doors for seating I would say it only took us a half an hour, if that long, to be seated. Long enough to check out the pretty girl's bathroom (Kaylee found the mirror where she pretended she had a twin and then danced with her! So funny!).

The wait was worth it! The food was delicious! With the two families we just ordered two anniversary dinners (which says it serves a family of four but I'm pretty sure it could have fed a family of ten!). They bring out all of these sides to get you started...corn fritters, cole slaw, bean salad and cottage cheese (with chicken dinner? Weird. But okay.). Everyone gets a choice between mashed, baked or french fries which comes out with the chicken. And the big plate of chicken they bring out!! Jen figured out that they allotted four pieces of chicken per person! And the kids don't eat off of that, they get their own plates with two pieces of chicken on that! It was soooo scrumdidlyicious though! This is not KFC people! No grease pockets or grease sliding down your chin. This is down home mama's fried chicken. Yummy! Definitely a place to bring visitors!

After dinner we found the pig chute which is a straight down slide. The funny part is that you end up on the stage when you come out...you know Kaylee only did it one time!! Kyle and James enjoyed it a couple of times though. Jagger wasn't tall enough so he played in the barn with all of the toys and forgot all about the pig chute!

Really cute. White Fence Farms is affiliated with an Adoption Exchange program and they have a book of adoptable children by the pig chute area. I was flipping through when Kaylee came up and she immediately took it away and said she had to find herself an eight year old sister! So adorable! Wouldn't it be nice if God put another girl in our family...even out the kids and the sexes. I'm pretty sure Jimmy thinks this move to Colorado has cancelled out future children though. So sad!

Okay, so the last thing we did was wait in line for dessert. And wait we did! Jen and I couldn't believe how long we waited! So many people. And they have the same line for drinks as they do for desserts. Us big brained people think they should make it two separate lines. Too long! Oh but the first taste of fudge dulled the memory a little. And when I got home the big slice of strawberry rhubarb pie that I bought really helped!! Again...delicious!

There is pictures of all of this but the last one is the ride home. I'm sure we may get tired of these big ol' mountains one day, but I just can't imagine it! Check out what God painted last night! And you can see the area that is being snowed on...words can't describe it and a picture barely does it justice....God is awesome!!
