"Anmals!"

Christopher's recent love this summer is "anmals". As mentioned before, we have a really nice petting farm near our house. We make it there on a weekly basis. Christopher is very brave, feeding Clydesdale horses all by himself. Perhaps more scary are the pair of geese there that hungrily nip at your fingers and can really pinch. They have rabbits, an ostrich, horses, goats, a pot belly pig and a mule. As we pull in the parking lot he happily shouts "anmals, anmals!", then quickly makes the circuit once out of the car. There is also pretend fire engine, a school bus and a wooden ship that the kids can climb in and out of. In all, its a fun and free (the best part) time. Today Lulu took him while I slept off a night shift. I call her my personal photographer since she effortlessly catches life's moments that I sometimes miss.

Farmer Boy

Since CRW has been playing alot with Leif's latch board, we have to watch him near the animal hutches.

"Free the chickens!"

Christopher has a love for school busses. Since the school year has started, he spots them everywhere, "BUS!" he hollers.

While he does this he says "drivin'".

And when he does this he says "ding ding ding ding".

Looking back at other kids playing.

With a case of the giggles. Watch where you are going!

Feeding the horses carrots.

Usually CRW will say "Mmmm" and smack his lips as he watches the animals eat.

"Move on back!"
