Farm Animals? Ugh...Boooring!

If LG could say more than three words, I think that's about how he'd sum up our momentous trip to the petting zoo this afternoon.

Gumshoe surprised us and came home early today, so we decided to spend the afternoon at the amazing Children's Farmstead in our area.  It's such a neat place and we've never taken LG, so we were looking forward to seeing his reaction to all the animals that up until now, he's only seen in books.  For sure, we thought, he's gonna be so excited to get up close to all the farm animals!  And if by "farm animals" we meant "rocks and gravel", then yes...he was very excited!

Sidenote: I am fully aware of the nerd-factor of rolled tube socks and sneakers in the summer, but whenever I get within a 150mi radius of LG with sandals in hand, he sobs...so...hmmmm?

First we checked out the cows
Then we moved on to the goats
Next came the horses






Then back to the goats where we were more excited about this..
(pause music at bottom of blog to hear jazzy video)






So we moved on to the dairy barn to watch the cow get milked, but that proved to be too boring for LG.  I mean, why milk a cow when there's gravel to be scooped up? 

Half-hearted smile outside the dairy barn


Followed by a downright sneer in our general direction...
Topped off by his first ever stomp-out

And as we were leaving...a small tantrum!  Enjoy :)
