So, my mom decided that during the summer we would go on "fieldtrips" every once in a while. And she had heard from a friend that there was a hummingbird farm 45 minutes out of town. So that's where we went.
I was actually kind of excited for this!
A hummingbird farm... I hadn't ever even heard of one of those!
I was imagining a little place like a butterfly pavilion, but filled with hundreds of hummingbirds.
So we drove.
And drove.
And drove, and drove, and drove.
Until we were out in the middle of nowhere.
And it had been an hour and a half. NOT 45 minutes.
But we knew we were going the right way.
There were landmarks.
Like, a cattle guard.
Or a lone tree.
Or an extremely large rock.
Because that's all that is out in the middle of nowhere.
And we arrive.
I thought that there was no way we were in the right place.
All that was there was...
A couple trees with hummingbird feeders by a little stream.
WOW.
We drove an hour and a half into the middle of nowhere for this?
So not worth it.
There were hummingbirds... like twenty.
And they were cool.
But it was definitely not worth three hours of my time out and back.
What a disappointment.
