Fort Rickey Game Farm

Also while in NY I took Kaleb, Madison and Aliza to Fort Rickey, a petting zoo that was a great treat when I was a child! We had a good time petting the baby goats and feeding the llamas and other critters there! Madison loved this big Momma goat! We saw Lemurs and Monkeys and Bison, oh my! Peacocks ran around and the roosters were Cock-a-Doodle-Dooing all over the place! Kaleb spotted me a peacock feather and jumped a fence to grab it for me! They sell them in the gift store for $2 but we lucked out naturally! No, we didn't pluck it from the bird! We listened to an interesting presentation about this 7 year old snake and the kids got to hold it! None of them were scarred at all! Luke would have peed his pants! The kids also got to pet the porcupine after hearing about how it was found as a baby on the side of the road after it's momma was killed by a car, it seems they love salt, and go to the roads after they have been salted in the winter storms...bad idea for them! We all had a great time and it was nice to spend a warm summer day with some critters! The place hasn't changed at all since I was a kid, some things are better left alone!
