We spent the morning at the home of some family friends, getting their "girls"
(60 or so sheep) ready for lambing season with haircuts and pedicures all around!
They expect lambs to start appearing next week!
Ready to get pretty!
The kids were thoroughly entertained.
The sheep...not so thrilled about the idea. ;-)
My dad and Jan (the owner) "giving pedi's"... :-)
One of the MANY reasons I love my dad...amidst the chaos of it all, he offers
reassurance to some spooked mamas-to-be. He swears he was telling her
she had "hay breath," but I know his true "sheep whisperer" personna.
My sister...always goofing off!
Lookin' good!
GIANT bags of wool were filled basket by basket and stomped
down by the littles so we could fit as much as possible into each one.
Each sheep offered an overflowing laundry basket full of wool!
Each bag holds about 200 pounds of wool!
Of course, it was super not fun to get inside of it and stomp it down! ;-)
My cautious Bren was a little nervous.
But she looked cute doing it, as usual!
The tiniest farmer of the day.
Kristin & Garret
Luca was completely enthralled with the whole process. She's so fun to
be with at activities like this because she gets so into things and never
minds the elements. She's always up for a challenge or new
adventure. She LOVED the sheep farm.
Love this kid. A lot.
Garret visits the chickens.
Believe it or not, we'll have ANOTHER opportunity to see some sheep sheering
on Friday with the homeschool group. When we count sheep to get to
sleep this week, I think they'll ALL be sheered! :-)
Hoping your weekend is a sheer delight!
