The Petting Farm

While in Colorado with my parents last week we took Elaine to the petting farm.  We met my mom’s friend Alethea and her little girl Talia (who is almost two) at Belleview park.  It is very near my grandparent’s house, so my grandpa came along too (he used to be a farmer). I know Elaine is a little young to know about all of these animals, but she has been very aware of dogs and cats, and we thought it would be fun!

 
“A pig?  What is that?”

Notice the fist full of lamb’s wool?  That’s the reason the cat downstairs knows to stay away from Elaine!

“This straw is interesting.”

Grandma Godby (my mom), Elaine, and Great-Grandpa Paul (my grandpa), and of course the cow!  Alethea and Talia are with the goats in the background

See?  Here they are.  Alethea and Talia!

We met the goat…

…and we watched the ducks (they’re not in the picture *wink*)

Then we finished with a ride on the train…

…here’s the train!
