May Day Festival


This past weekend our family spent the morning at the Wheeler Farm May Day Festival. I love going to events like this and it is even more enjoyable now that Claire is older.

The first thing we did was a pony ride. Claire had so much fun; her arms were waving in the air the entire time. Surprisingly, the ride lasted quite a long time. The smile on her face was priceless. I'll pay $3 anytime to see her that happy.


We were so delighted to see that Claire wasn't scared of any of the animals. Big or small, she touched them all. Not even the giant horse scared her.



I was pleasantly surprised to see how intrigued Claire was with all of the animals. She pointed at everything and it seemed as though she kept calling them dogs ("da"). While we were walking through the farm, we came across a small pet goat. The owner even let Claire sit on it for a second and it quickly started to run away. It was quite funny! Who buys a goat for a pet?! :)



The May Day Festival was a hit and I am even more excited to take Claire to the zoo this summer so she can see many more animals. If it was up to Claire, we would have stayed there all day.

And of course, Khloe had a blast too!

I think a love for animals is a natural thing with little ones and we're very glad that you encourage it with Claire. What fun experiences are in store for her in the future!

I love Wheeler Farm! I think I have a picture of Avery on a pony there at about that same age. It's so much fun to see them so excited:)

I thought "da" was for dad?! Always cute photos, form every angle!
