this is why we live here

We used to have to pay 8 dollars a kid to visit a petting zoo.  We used to have to plan ahead and travel pretty far to find some baby animals.  We used to be surrounded by 24 other kids begging for 50 cents to purchase the gross goat feeding chips just to stick one hand into a cage.  Not anymore, welcome to quiet small town living.  

This weekend, out good friends/ neighbors/ babysitter and their 2 kids, invited us to tag along to one of our many neighboring farms.  These little sheep were 1 week old.  A. got to feed them while K. stood by watching and taking in all in to his quiet reserved brain.  The family who owns the farm also have a 6 year old little girl.  That little sweet girl took A. under her wing and taught the kids how to get eggs out of the chicken coop, hang upside down on the play set, pet a bunny, and how to hold the little lambs.  

Here is K.'s version of the story...

baaaaaa

"bak ey bal" on a farm...

"Dee Trato" on a farm... Could this day get any better?

oh it can, a dump truck.

Here is my future prediction for K: I think he may be a farmer.  It would suit his quiet yet active lifestyle ie. the animals won't bother him like his sister, he can play in dirt, he can drive a tractor, and he can give his mother all the vegetable and eggs that she wants.  Deal... I think so
