Thanksgiving Point Farm Country

 Mom and I took the kids to the farm today.  It was a beautiful morning and we loved spending it outside.  We got there right when it opened and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves.

 Jail Pics!



 Cameron loved the baby goats...and the big ones for that matter.  He let them lick all over his fingers.

 A little tiny black baby goat came over to him and I think Mom got a picture.  It was so cute, but I didn't want Cameron to hurt him, so I didn't get a picture.

 Cam also loved walking along the fence.

 These next pictures are a big deal people.  Prepare to be very excited.  These are Sunny petting a goat.  She did it all on her own...no coaxing or bribery was involved on my part.

For those who don't know, Sunny is terrified of animals.  Petting zoos, in the past, have caused her to melt down to the ground in a screaming fit.  She is freakishly terrified.  Well, not anymore.  My brave little girl has conquered her fear.


 Jack on the big horse.


 Lila was a little nervous at first, but she really wanted to ride that "unicorn." 

 And another huge milestone.  She rode a horse.  Yes, she pet a goat and rode a horse all in hone day.  And even more importantly, she LOVED it.  Afterwards, she told Mom and I that she was scared, but she sucked it up because she knew if a 2 year old could do it, so could she.

 Words cannot describe how proud I am of my sweet Sunny girl.


 And of course, Mr. G., who was not about to be outdone by his big siblings.  He hopped right up and loved ever minute.
