This morning was a very special morning- filled with fresh, farm-style doughnuts and fresh, farm-style quiche (the crust was basically a biscuit- YUMMY), and fresh, farm-style instant hot chocolate- wait, that part wasn’t fresh or farm-style, but still pretty tasty.
It was, of course, because we were at a farm!
A 7 minute drive from our house brings us to a farm with cows, sheep, pigs, goats, and turkeys. And a cafe. And a playground. And it’s FREE.
It’s pretty much heaven for the under 7 crowd (and their parents- did I mention it’s FREE?)- why we’ve only been there twice is beyond me.
Today’s big excitement centred around the cows. Or, more specifically one particularly rather adorable cow.
I’m sure this is not actually a “cow” and has a proper name not involving the word “cow” at all, but I can’t be bothered to check (five days past my due date and all…)
There were some other girls there who LOVED this cow. And they fed it dandelion leaves over and over and over again.
And Benjy was super excited about it.
Can’t you just feel the joy and wonder radiating from him?
No, but seriously. This is Benjy totally enthralled. He becomes very somber, very watchful, very intense.
What, don’t believe me? Don’t believe that he is IN LOVE WITH these animals?
Just look what happened when we took him back to the car…
We’ll be back, Benj. We’ll be back.

I like it when you’re past your due date – you blog more.
I think I would go to Finland just for that breakfast. It sounds marvelous!
Now you know for next time that going to a farm brings on labor for you! And I cannot believe Benjy is wearing GLOVES!!!
I love it! The first picture of the “cow” reminds me of comedian Rip Taylor. You may be too young to remember him (although I just saw him on TV recently). I remember watching him on TV when I was little thinking, “Huh?”.
Awww poor guy!! He does not look happy at all. Can you blame him though? That place looks fantastic, I could spend all weekend there myself.
Adorable pics of Benjy. Sorry you’re still waiting on the baby to come. Have your doc threaten you with inducing labor. That did it for me
