Baby animal farm

Saturday afternoon we went to Govin's to see the baby animals. It's a farm by Menomonie that is best known for its strawberries and meat. But in the spring, for 3 weekends, they have their barn open to see the baby lambs, chicks and piglets. We had never gone before, but I don't know why! It was so fun and the girls absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure how Jocey was going to react, but I think because they were so small she was okay. She didn't love the horses, but did pet them as long as they were eating and she didn't have to touch their faces. The girls and I went with Anita; Calvin had to work. He was so bummed that he missed it that I think he and I and Jocey are going to go again on Sunday!

It was beautiful on Saturday - we played outside most of the morning!

Yum - chalk Ginger was keeping a watchful eye on that cracker...she finally grabbed it when Jocelyn turned her head. She cried and cried - she was so sad and just didn't understand why Ginger would do that to her! So we worked on saying "No, no, Ginger, that's mine!" She's pretty good at it now - but sounds like "No, no, ma!"

Here are the farm pictures! Kailee loves horses!

These piglets were so funny! Hardly any of them could find a nipple - they just kept ramming their heads into the momma!

Amazingly all the chicks survived - she only tried to pull the leg off of one.

This lamb had it's eye poked, but seemed to come out okay.

She loved the puppies!

Giving the puppy a hug thru the fence

This puppy nipped her finger - she cried and cried - she's very sensitive and gets her feelings hurt very easily. I don't think it hurt - she's pretty tough that way.

Back home after a fun day! She loves to carry around a purse - puts her keys in it and says 'bye-bye!'
