Farm Day

This afternoon Nicholas, Celia, Grandma M and myself made our way to a friend's farm. It is technically a 'hobby farm' so they have 2 sheep, lots of cows, barn cats, chickens, bunnies, a duck and a dog. Grandma M. kind of set up a 'field trip' for us (thanks!).
First of all, Nicholas cried very hard at the sheep. They were bleating quite loudly and it scared him. Celia was interested in them though.
We made our way to the cows and the barn cats. Then went into the chicken coop. There was lovely light in there. It would've been an ideal place to take lots of pictures, but N&C were moving more than the chickens. lol

The sad thing is, I get more eye-contact from chickens, than I do with my own toddlers. Although chickens are probably not used to mama-razzi's.


I love how Celia's eyes show so much wonder while she observes the chickens.
And of course, I have to throw in a Celia-cranky-face for fun. :) This was very short-lived, she was a very good girl :)
Also Nicholas walking around. The chickens were to the right.
Celia and Grandma looking at the 'Mama Duck'
The owners of the farm sent us home with 2 dozen farm eggs! How nice is that? The neat thing is some of the eggs are blue!

The below pictures are of our plant in front of our house after it rained yesterday. I wish it was more in focus though.

    Yes, nice eye contact with the chicken!!! LOL!!! I love the pic of Celia looking into the chicken cage! We'll make sure we go back regulary...then they will know what to expect. Maybe next time we can swim! You're doing great with your new camera lens.
