Deanna Rose Farm

Today we made our first visit of the season to the Deanna Rose Farm and it was a hit!  It opens every year on April 1st.  Between crummy weather and stuff going on this was our first chance to get there.  Isabella and Margaret were so excited to show Walter all of the animals today they ran around the place like little tour guides.  The most anticipated event was to see Pipi the cow for the first time since last fall.  This cow is quite an idol at our house.  She was pregnant and had her baby calf last May a couple of days after I had Walter.  This earned her the right to have our pet fish named after her.  While we were visiting today she was out enjoying the sunshine and looking rather large.  One of the volunteers told us that she is expecting again... better her than me:)  This was very exciting and the girls can't wait to watch her grow and grow again!  We were even able to sneak in a picnic lunch!


Feeding the baby goats.
Walter's favorite was watching goats eat out of his sister's hands.

Margaret was upset because this sheep was in the same pen as the baby goats.  She was trying to feed the goats but the sheep (who was larger) just rammed them out of the way with his head.
