Down at the Farm

It was a nice sunny day in July and, faced with the task of babysitting, we decided to take the girls out to a local petting farm. Unfortunately, one of then had to go into hospital for an operation, so that was one less to worry about. We pulled into a working farm in front of a row of small outhouse buildings and proceeded to an office outside a large barn. We paid our admission fee and bought some animal feed too. We then had to walk through a huge barn of pigs which was quite imitating to our two-year-old, and I ended up picking her up and carrying her through. On the other side was a large square fence which you could walk alongside to feed the animals. I showed Millie how to do it but she was still nervous. Occasionally she would tap the animal on the head.
