Bloom where you're planted

We took the girls to our favorite little farm about 20miles south west of here a few weekends ago. It was the first weekend they were open since winter so they waived the entrance charge.
Gotta love that.
We just love this place in general.
It's perfectly situated out in the country (although everything kinda is here, but this place even more so)
It's called Bloom Where You're Planted, which is the cutest name ever...and it's just a very small, family owned and operated farm.

It doesn't boast anything fancy.
It has a swing set for kids to play on.
Horses to watch and feed grass to.
A bean bag toss.
Huge hay bails to climb on.
A corn kernel pit.
Walking trails.
An old school house converted to a kitchen to buy homemade, or locally grown food in.
Nice, and quaint and quiet.


the girls loved the horses by far the most. all they wanted to do watch them...



rip up grass and feed them...


pet them...


walk next to them...


it's better than a playground. a mall. a park. a bouncy house. a whatever.
Because they can be free.
Children need times to feel free.

places like this are why we love Nebraska so much.
