Farm Animals

A former student was kind enough to invite us up to their farm and see the new lambs, chicks, and other animals. We went a year ago for Easter pictures with their white bunny. This year, E was more mobile and a lot more interested in the animals.

He kept calling the llama a "horsie." He loved feeding it out of his hand.

 The sheep wanted nothing to do with E, but he loved chasing them. I told the family if they ever needed a sheepdog, he'd be available!

He didn't like the chickens at first, but once he got to feed them he loved it. The only thing is that he'd drop the feed right in front of him, so the chickens would get closer and closer. Then he'd realize he was surrounded. 

He probably would have fed them all night if he could.

This picture CRACKS me up. He didn't like the turkeys much, and it looks like he's having a stare down with the big one. 

My former student was so patient teaching him how to feed everything. He didn't want to leave when we were done... we might just be running back up there soon!

Lazy 5 Ranch

We went with our friends to a place called Lazy 5 Ranch. It has tons of animals (farm animals and exotic animals) and you ride around on a wagon to see the different animals and feed them. The boys both loved it, and I really did too. A perfect way to close out summer!

Seriously - where did my baby go? He looks so grown up!!

Waiting for the wagon ride - love my pictures of Mr. Smiley and Mr. Serious!

They would stand up on the wagon and just stick their hands through to feed the animals. It was my job to bring the animals to us with handfuls of food. The boys couldn't quite figure out the feeding thing.

I love the grin on his face! So cool to see giraffes like that!

Talk about a handful - holding E and a bucket of food up!

There were so many cool animals, and the boys liked touching them all!

Happy boys!

Yep. That's my hand in a cow tongue. They're ROUGH!

The boys had better things to look at!

E made himself at home in the petting area.

E was yelling at waving his finger at the camel. Wish I knew what he was saying!

I love this picture. Typical BOY.

All worn out!
