Farming Frolics!

Today was a grand day out with Becky & Joel Barnes. We set off in the morning to the Noah's Ark Zoo Farm. We arrived pretty close to lunchtime, and Emma was not amused. Here is a lovely picture of her displaying her displeasure!!



After lunch we looked around the zoo farm. We started with the chickens. We had bought some bags of feed. Unfortunately 2 chickens had a mild scuffle in front of Emma, but it made her cry. We stayed in the pen for a good while longer until she was happy again & hurling feed at the chucks.


We then moved on to the camels to feed them. They had very tickly soft mouths. Here is Becky & Joel outside their pen.

There were some cute & speedy chip munks - they raced about like whirl winds! We went to look at the farm animals in the barn.



Emma really enjoyed the indoor barn & the outdoor pen with the pigs in.




We then went on the tractor for a farm ride. It was quite a bumpy ride, with non-existent suspension. We rattled about. Emma & Joel were not very sure if they enjoyed it, but they were very brave.




We then came back to our place for tea & the babies dinner. Here are the dynamic duo taking Emma's bus for a spin!


Here is Emma very close up - putting a gurt smudge on the lens. Thanks for that!!!
