A Day at the Farm

This past weekend, Nana took me and Sylvia to her co-worker's farm so Sylvia could see all the animals. We got to see baby chicks, bunnies, sheep, and a pony.

Sylvia was not sure what to think of the baby chicks which she insisted were ducks. She absolutely would not hold one herself. This chick is trying to give her a kiss.




I believe the bunnies were her favorite animal although she did continuously call them dogs. I guess we need to work on animal names.




It took a little coaxing but Sylvia was willing to pet the lamb. The sheep were not too interested in coming to see us.


She was able to identify the lamb's ears and nose after pointing out her own. Pointing at people's eyes is her favorite, and she did jab at the lamb's eye once.


Nana brought carrots along to feed to the pony.




I insisted she sit on top of the big tire for a picture. She wasn't as excited about it as I was.


Sylvia's two favorite activities were pretending to drive the little tractor and swinging on the horse tire swing. This little girl love to swing.




We also got to see a robin's nest. Mama bird didn't stick around when we got too close.
