Another Day, another visit to the farm

8/28/2009

As the summer days draw to a close, we are lucky enough to spend a few hours enjoying Vermont's beautiful weather and landscape! Yesterday we took a trip to Shelburne Farm with Eva, Will and Minna. We boarded the tractor and took the bumpy road to the beautiful children's farm yard.

Alexa and Minna on the story trail

Eva managed to catch a few chickens and Alexa thoroughly enjoyed the donkeys once again! Will suggested a walk through the woods, which was an excellent idea as the trail exited us here...

We love all the animals. Alexa timidly approachs them all and once she lays her hand on them she quickly turns and runs giddily back to me so proud of her accomplishment!

The baby goats were a different story. Alexa sat outside their pen and stroked their heads gently for several minutes.

and check out these crazy animals!

Yesterday was great...everybody had a wonderful time. I think I'll log off this computer and head over again today! As I post this Alexa points to this photo and says, "hummin bird." Obviously, it is not a hummingbird, but how impressed are you that she can say hummingbird?

I was browsing through some older photos of Alexa and stumbled upon these photos from one year ago...
