Keven and I took the kids to a sheep farm about an hour away on Saturday. Jamie who works in Keven's company office has a small sheep business with her husband as a hobby. The ewes were lambing and we got to see newborn lambs. Can you say ADORABLE? The kids had a great time. First we went into the "jug" where the new mamas are kept with the newborn lambs to make sure they bond. Then we went to another holding place where they were all a few days old and got the pet those ones. So cute! I am a sucker for baby animals of any kind anyway. I was going to try to take a video of one of the baaaaing (don't know the technical term - is it bleating?) but didn't. It was a beautiful day, minus the wind, and the kids had a blast running around, stepping in sheep poop, sticking their fingers in the sheep water and the licking it off (TYLER!), chasing ewes (TYLER!), poking at lambs' eyes (TYLER!)... Jamie and Mark were so sweet to let us interrupt their hard day's work! We had a wonderful time!

Isn't he/she a cutie?

Ohhh! How way too cute! We took Aidan to the Stock Show and he got to feed the animals...he too chased them! I thought for sure that one of the goats was going to turn around and nip him! I thought to myself...go ahead and try it! But I guarantee he'll bite back! HA!
