Anyway...
We had a lovely time at the farm yesterday - the girls were absolutely in their element!
We always thoroughly enjoy going to visit my Uncle though - his place is just so tranquil and relaxing and the fresh air is marvellous! His property is next door to the property that I grew up on, and I just love being able to share that with my daughters. Visiting him does, however, make me not enjoy living in town at all! It really is true that you might be able to take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl! (Well, in my case anyway!)
As soon as we arrived Em took off to see the goats and I think she would quite happily have spent the entire day in the goat paddock! The only time anyone was grumpy was when Em was told for about the millionth time to stay away from the electric fence... She had a bit of a sulk, but managed to get over it eventually! Both girls were nice to each other, ran around the whole time, played with all the animals and just generally had a great time. It was so nice to see them enjoying something that I grew up doing... we were always outside and I barely remember watching TV or being inside at all. We spent a lot of time in the chook pen, out with the calves, in the lucerne paddock, up trees, down at the creek... anywhere but inside!
Here is the best pic I could get of the girls with one of the kids... they do say never work with animals or children!
Emma was quite happy to go to kindy today to tell them all about her trip to the farm! I think we'll be hearing about this trip for a long time... probably until we next go out in fact LOL
As for a link to food, well, the kid the girls are cuddling is NOT going to be food - that one is a little girl, so will be kept for breeding purposes!
Its still freezing here today so I'm going to go and actually do some housework today to try and warm up! Yep, you know its cold if I want to do something like that to warm up!
