Fun at the Farm

Michelle's preschool visited Frying Pan Farm this past week for a field trip. It was a perfect day, and we had so much fun seeing all the baby farm animals.
When I asked Michelle what animals she thought we might see, she said she wanted to see a baby humpback whale. I think she has been watching a little too much Dora and Diego.
There were a LOT of baby pigs - Michelle thought they were really funny.
She was a little concerned about the ones under the "fire", but I told her the lamp would not hurt them and helped keep them warm.
Her favorite part of the visit was riding around the farm behind the tractor.

It always amazes me how kids just naturally take to all animals. At the National Western Stock Show, Zebb would walk up to or reach out to two-ton bulls, thoroughbreds, llamas, and pigs, without a fear in the world. (Then again, he grew up with 300 pounds of Great Dane in the house.)

There's also something about kids and tractors. Doesn't matter how much noise they make, they love sitting on or riding tractors. Might get scared by a loud motorcycle or a car horn, but a tractor can do no wrong.

Great Pics Midge...It was wonderful to meet you and your family last week. Thank you for your warm hospitality! I am so thankful that our kids could play together. Hopefully we can do that again sometime :)

Thanks for your prayers for Kai on his journey.
