Farm Visit

Last week, my mom and I took Grayson to visit some friends that have a farm.  He had a great time!  They have four cows, some pigs and a cat.  Grayson was not sure how he felt about the cows.  He liked them when someone was holding him or he was outside the fence, but when they got too close when he was standing next to the fence he would back away.  He did get brave enough to pet them when someone was holding him.  They were pretty friendly calves.  They liked to be scratched.



Observing the cows from a distance.




This picture is my favorite!  Grayson was reaching through the fence to the cows and one actually came over.  He had turned his head and a cow came over to sniff his hand.  When he turned back around, he was very startled to notice a cow right next to him sniffing his hand and he immediately pulled his hand away and watched the cow warily.  The cow was sweet and licked my hand, it tickled, they have such rough tongues.  


After the cows, we went to feed the pigs.  Holy cow do they smell!  Probably didn't help that there had been pouring rain for days before we came over, so their pen was a mess!!!  They were still pretty cute.  Grayson liked the pigs too, but also from a distance.

After feeding the pigs, we headed to the barn to explore things there.  We put Grayson in an empty feed bag, he is such a good sport.


And then...we found the cat.  The two of them chased each other around the farm, it was pretty cute.



The stare down.


It was off to feed the fish in the pond next and again I had to hold him back from jumping in the pond.  I really did not feel like getting wet.

The area was beautiful and Grayson just loved being able to run around.  I think he liked the cat best.  He would follow that thing wherever it went.
