Yeah okay, they are difficult to stage manage. Yeah, they do wild and unpredictable things but surely a big bucket of cute makes up for that.
Sadly my own son has never really enjoyed getting up close and personal with all creatures great and small. I've never let that stop me. Why should the kids have all the fun?
It is exactly that type of thinking that inspired Brisbane blogger Girl Clumsy to decide to hire an animal farm and invite her city friends - with or without kids - to come along.
Brilliant idea.
The adults were having just as much fun as the kids but for me it was the wonder on the faces of the little ones as they got to touch and feed the animals that was really special. The way this little kid is patting that little kid. Priceless.
Aww, that is so sweet! I must get to our local farm before all the babies grow too much. x
ReplyDeleteCuuuuuute!! I have a massive soft spot for goats - especially when they're little.
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely, she doesn't look scared at all. That is just what I love about our farm...seeing the wonder on children's faces as they stroke the animals.
