It Never Gets Old

Wheeler Farm that is. I think we've been there around 15 times this summer and it is still enjoyable every time we go. Us girls (Claire, Khloe, and I) love every minute of it.

Khloe whines when I make the turn through the entrance because she knows where she is. She jumps out of the car and can't wait to begin our walk through the park. Even though a leash is attached to her collar and fences separate her and the farm animals, it's as though she's entered animal heaven and finally gets to have another playdate with her friends. The geese, on the other hand, would prefer she stay at least 10 feet away.

What do I think is Claire's favorite part? She finds it especially interesting when roosters have escaped from their cages and are running around us frantically trying to dodge the random children chasing after them. Hmmm, maybe she should internalize that experience and think about how Khloe feels when she is running after her. :)

For me, knowing that Claire is enjoying herself while learning about animals, Khloe is having a blast running around outside sniffing poop (thank heavens she doesn't eat it), and I feel like a decent Mom who isn't holed up inside the house doing nothing are what I cherish most. Beats an afternoon sittin' on the couch!
