The Li'l Country Store and Miniature Horse Farm 


During Spring Break this year we decided to spend a day in Lancaster County and checked out the Li'l Country store and Miniature Horse Farm in Ronks, PA. 

I love when we can mix in a free activity and this farm has a free petting zoo that is open during their business hours. 

Here you will find miniature horses of course, as well as alpacas, goats, puppies and even some new born kittens! In the barn they have feed set up that you can leave a cash donation for and feed the animals. Throughout the barn you will find the names of all the horses and it was so enjoyable to walk around and pet all the different animals!


Along with this petting zoo is the Country Store and stand with fresh snacks like homemade chips and whoopee pies!




Let's talk about some of the other things they offer including Miniature Horse Workshop. These are offered by appointment Monday through Saturday and are an hour in duration. The price is 40.00 for a group of 4 people or less and 7.00 per person if more than 4 people. It includes grooming, saddle rides, cart rides, and feedings. They can be scheduled online or you can call in. Check out their website for more info.

                      Sesame Place during the Summer Up until this last visit we have enjoyed Sesame place during the early Spring and Winter Holiday seasons, this was our first visit during the Summer and after the most recent updates to the water attractions. We were excited to check out the various splash pads and water rides during their 43rd Birthday event. While we were hosted for this visit, I highly recommend purchasing a Season Pass if you plan to visit more than once, if not they run various deals on day tickets throughout the year, The Season Pass holders (depending on the level) get free parking, discounts on in-park purchases, early access times, bring a friend tickets and lots more perks! It is worth it for the parking alone which varies by day and typically starts at $30 for general parking (preferred is also available for purchase).  Sesame Place is located in Langhorne, PA which is also just near the Oxford Valley Mall and restaurants making it easy to make a day of yo

  Goldfish Swim - Oaks Did you know that swim lessons for children can boost their confidence and their cognitive development at an early age while learning a new life skill? We are currently taking classes at the Goldfish Swim School in Oaks, PA and my daughter looks forward to going every week because she has already started new friendships and enjoys lessons that are catered to her individual skillset.  Goldfish Swim in Oaks offers lessons for infants up to 12 years old, they are held on weekdays and weekends at a variety of time slots depending on class type and capacity. If you are interested, but not sure where to start, check out their online swim assessment  here . By answering just two questions, their age and swim experience, you will get a recommended class level.  Once you are signed up, all you will need is a bathing suit, brush and towel. That's it! They have showers, changing rooms, a blow dryer station, plus my daughter's favorite...snacks!  A typical class is a
