baby animal day

Today was the annual Stamper's x-press meeting so I was BUSY all day. My buddy Mandy was working with me on it. So our guys found something fun to do with the kids--baby animal day at the American West Heritage center.Here is our crew of Barnard/Erickson kiddos ready for a fun day at the farm!

Each kid got to climb in the pen with the baby cow and pet her. Jack said "soft cow, soft cow..." Jack also really loved the donkey, kept saying "hey donkey" over and over. A lot of what he says right now is his Jack language so it is fun when he speaks to us in English. :)

Drew cuddles a duckie. He is such a tenderheart and loves animals.

So much to see!

One of the highlights was finding a baby snake (not part of the exhibit) in the grass. With Jared's help they tossed it home--to the stream.

"bye-bye snake!"

Lily Jane enjoyed her turn on the horses!

Drew loved it too!

Jack tried the horse too but did not love it as much. However now he constantly wants to look at this picture of himself on the horse. He at least LOVES the picture!!

Kids all liked trying out the swing varieties

Here is the swing Jack did not like...

...and the one he liked!!
