Baby lambs



Every spring we love to go to my grandpa's little farm and see the new baby lambs. The lambs start coming around the middle of February and it takes about a month to get them all here. This year he has around 50 baby lambs. He sells most of them but he saves a few for the grandkids to raise for the county fair. My kids aren't old enough yet to participate, but I have fun memories of taking care of my own lambs for the fair! DD2 was a little freaked out by the mother sheep because she kept baa-ing and banging up against the fence while we were petting the baby. My grandpa is so great. He is always willing to take us out to the farm to see the lambs. Thanks grandpa!

How fun to see the pictures with Claire and the baby lambs. We have been there twice to see the new baby lambs, but do you think i have had my camera either time..Nope, I guess I better get on the ball and take some pictures with my kids with the baby lambs. I agree that grandpa is so good to let all the great-grandkids come and see and hold all the little baby lambs.
