Farm Days

Today we took the girls to a local farm that had their annual spring lambing going on.  There were probably over 100 itty bitty lambs.  Some of them were old enough to be in a general viewing area with other lambs.  But most of them were small enough that they were still in the same pen as their mothers.  It was interesting to see how many of the sheep actually had a set of twin lambs!!

The girls also got to see HUGE mommy pigs with their little piglets.  And then we went over by the baby chicks.  There was a little coop there that probably had a hundred chicks in it that the girls were able to pick up and hold!!  Addi was a little gun shy.  She would make an attempt to pick one up, but when one of them would flap its wings, she would jump away.  Livi, on the other hand, wasn't afraid at all!  She probably picked up more than 5 of them by herself!

Lastly, the girls each got to ride on a pony.  Both of them chose to ride Molly...a cute little black pony.  They squealed with excitement and hollared out "yee-haw!!"  Too funny.  Oh yeah, and they also got to hold a baby goat!!  How awesome is that?!

Addi is contemplating picking up a chick.

Livi didn't hesitate to do so!!!

Look at Livi's smile when holding this little goat!

Brave little devil...going one-handed so she can wave for the camera!

Enjoying the ride.

 

She's inspecting the M&M's container.

Such a concerned look!!

She was whacking the block on the box so hard she kept squinting her eyes!!

 

This is her teething face.  She bites her tongue and plays with her new teeth.

A moment of getting along!!
