Farm Fun

One of my friends from work met me at a local dairy / restaurant / working farm. David was pretty afraid of the goats in the petting zoo for a while, but warmed up to them fairly quickly. By the end of the time there, he was patting each goat on the head and saying, "Hi, goat!" to each and every one. I was cracking up!

He also saw cows (who go "boo" in his world), a pig (who snorts like David), a turkey (which had his feathers literally ruffled, so David and I both kept our distance), some ducks, a few chickens... it was a big day. He also played on some tractors on display and touched a REAL semi truck. (We asked permission from the driver first, of course.) That was pretty important to him. I am amazed at how quickly he gets over his fears. We should all be so brave.

I love this kid so much. He is helping me learn about the world in a whole new way. In that respect, he is my little teacher and superhero.
