my kids love it here also and my son has really opened up and doing better in school, his favorite thing is to look for eggs and chase the animals around. my daughter is a tweenager that is going to try my patients but is great.
Sounds like fun!

Maybe it's time to introduce a large scale fish hatchery, lol.
