Out on the farm

Guess what!  I don't really like farm animals, or any other animal, in real life. I like to look at them, to see them in books, but I don't really like to be anywhere near them.  So, why my mom continues to try to make me be around them is beyond me.  A few weeks ago she drug me and Tylo to Amy's Farm as a field trip for my playgroup. 

Oh she thought I'd have all kinds of fun playing with the animals... she was wrong!  Well, sorta.  I did like being there with all my friends, and looking at the animals

but she kept asking me if I wanted to pet this giant cow and I kept telling her no, and she kept asking.  As if I was going to change my mind.  I wouldn't dare change MY mind! 

We did see a lot of animals - horses, cows, chickens, pigs, ducks, sheep, and goats. 

They put us in a cage with some of those goats like they like to do - I didn't leave mom's side but I didn't cry this time. 

I think this is the 4th time in 4 months mom has thrown me in with the goats!  Will she ever listen?  I don't like goats! 

Some of the other kids got to milk a cow but mom didn't even ask if I wanted to do that.  I guess she just knew I wasn't having any of it! 

Oh, and there are A LOT of flies at the farm!  They covered the stroller (maybe mom should clean it once in a while!) and i kept trying to get them off but they kept coming back.  Go away flies! 

Tyler wasn't feeling good so he slept most of the time but I had fun running around, playing in the mud puddles, and looking at everything. 

I don't know if we'll go back though - it smelled!  Maybe when I like animals more mommy will buy some clothespins to put on our noses and we'll try it again.  Until then I'll stick with my books and pictures of animals.
