Play group on the farm!

Today was such a gorgeous day and our play group decided to meet out at a friends "farm".  She now has 3 horses, 3 (4 day old) calves, 4 goats, 2 donkeys, 1 duck, 2 baby ducklings, 5ish chickens and 25ish baby chicks...not to mention a few cats and lots of geese that have adopted her pasture.  The kids just went crazy over the animals, and as moms, what do you like better than to see your kids thrilled?
It was a great play group!

Katey doesn't like the feel of the rocks on her hands, so when she falls, she might just sit there for a while until she either talks (fusses) me into coming over to help her up, or decides its finally worth it because she's drawn by something else. :)

 

Little Stanley scoping out the farm, he looks like he belongs here!

He was pretty excited to see the animals and was pretty serious with his walking stick.

Alli holding Fletcher and trying to get the horses to "smile". Its really cool when they do :)

 

Riley was TOTALLY in her element! In this pic it looks like the goat is chasing her, but the truth is she was the one chasing the donkeys just out of the shot :)

One of the new 4 day old calves, his name is Spaghetti! 

The calf was VERY curious about all the little "critters" running around!

He really liked Alli too, and was trying to nurse her fingers!
.

 

He didn't honestly seem that disappointed :) 

 

Katey wanted to touch the calf but wasn't so sure when it turned toward her.

"Katey, where are the ducks?"

They were soo cute!

Riley also brought out a baby chick and was VERY motherly with it :)

 

She wasn't the only one being motherly :)

Katey thought the horses were pretty cool!

 

Even though they were A LOT bigger than her :)

 

We also got to pet the donkeys...

And chase the goats...

All in all, it was a great play group on the farm.  We are truly fortunate in our friendships.

Thank you sooo much Jonathan & Jessica for sharing your animals with us (and Riley for sharing all your toys :) )!
