We actually stopped and took quite a few pictures here, I will try to show more later.
Here is Ali on the back of my bike trying to look scared from all of the noises in the woods. (Such a dama queen) I think she was getting sleepy and did not want to fall asleep, so she decided bike riding there was "spooky."Luckily while were riding, we found a "Fairy Arch" For those of you that do not know what a Fairy Arch is (which is everyone but me since I think I invented it), it is where bushes grow together to form an arch over a path. It is where Faries get married. You can go uner them to make a wish. Ali was all too happy to run over and make a wish. She also looked for fairies. She did not see them, but we think we heard them giggling a few times.
After our fun at the fairy arch, we finally headed back to the car. We took a "wrong turn" pulling out of the park (there is never wrong turns, just adventures) and found our way to a neat little farm stand. Right after we pulled in to take a look, two ladies on horses rode in. Ali and I decided to go and ask them if we could pat the horses. Not only did they let us pat them, one of the ladies offered to let Ali ride her horse!!!! Ali had a nice little ride around the parking lot on a beautiful horse. Of course at the time I did not have my camera on me, but here are the horses a little while later grazing on some grass.
While patting the horses, we noticed pigs! What was really funny was that one of the horses was terrified of the pigs. His eyes were huge staring at them, and he was trying to pull back. And the pigs were behind electric fences! 
Despite the smell, I found them quite cute. They had these wonderful enclosures, big areas with lots of food and shelter and tubs of water. There were two seperate enclosures with a path going down the middle. They were rooting around in the dirt and mud and snorting like crazy. I have never heard such vocal pigs! I have to say, their faces and floppy ears were quite endearing!What a perfect day!
