The Little Guys

With school beginning, I’ve been left with Scott & Mason……that is, until Kindergarten starts next week!  I was chatting with Kelly and she thought it would be fun to take her kids over to a local place called Wheeler Farm and she invited us to join her.  We did and the boys all had a fun time!  When we first got there, we were swarmed by ducks and geese.   I was so bummed I’d forgotten bread!  We got there a little before Kelly did and Scott thought all the birds were pretty neat.  He asked if he could pet them and I laughed and told him he could try, but that they might bite, so he should be careful.  He was SO funny!  He tried to be all stealthy and sneaky. 

You would have to know Scott to know his certain looks he pulls.  There’s this one where he stands still and moves only his eyes and watching him pull this on the birds was hilarious!  He attempted chasing a chicken; one of those really fluffy funny looking ones and it ran and hid from him in a bush.  Once the chicken was off limits, he headed toward a rooster.  Kelly got there by then with her boys and we both warned him not to mess with the rooster.  Sure enough it was staring him down, so Scott backed off!  Then, the boys tried to sneak up as a group on the geese and they ran around honking and got angry.  One even walked right up to me and stared at me like it was telling me to watch my kid.  I’m sure no one will be as amused by these pictures as I am and that’s ok.  It was so funny!  Eventually the boys gave up on their stealthy technique and went for a full on charge, sending the geese running around honking and ducks quacking!  They were making a scene, so we made them stop and we made our way over to a tree house they kept wanting to go back to. 

 

They got to see cows, horses, turkeys, chickens, pigs and goats, but they kept on going back to their tree house.  I think it was the highlight for them!  They had a fun time.
