Feed the Rabbits, Donkey, and Goats

 

The animals are ALWAYS hungry and they would like nothing better than to have a tasty treat any time of day.  Baby rabbits are always fun to hold and play with.

 

Light A Fire

Hot Tub

Spend a cold night in the hot tub if you are staying in the treehouse and warm up as you watch the stars.
