Down on the Farm
Friday was such a lovely sunny day here. The first one so far. It just instantly uplifts you when you are given a sign that winter has ended and the summer is on its way. My friend Karen invited us to join them on a trip down to the local farm. We have only taken Em to the farm once before and she really didn't like it, but she was a lot younger then. This time, although she was still a little cautious of the animals, especially the big ones, she seemed a lot happier. In fact we ended up spending most of the day there, the time just flew!
We fed the bunnies at feeding time, went on a tractor ride and saw cows and deer, played in the park and had a lovely picnic in the sun. When she asked for a horse ride I could hardly believe it! This was such an improvement. When she got on the horse it was a bit of a mixture of emotions for her, one minute going 'Weeeeeee' and the next saying it was too bumpy and she wanted to get off. But she did really well and kept on talking about that horsey afterwards.
I am really looking forward to the next visit to the farm, we all had such a lovely time.
