This is Hannah smiling sweetly at the cows across the trail. There is a trail we walk a couple of miles from our house that is basically like a zoo on one half and a duck sanctuary on the other. It is the best 3.15miles there is to walk in Nampa and at about the halfway point Hannah always gets out to pet the animals through the fence.
Hannah was hoping the goats would eat the dandelion. They definitely did!
There were even some baby goats that were only 1 week old (no pictures though?) today we met the owner of the land where all of this is. He is an old very deaf man who is really nice. You could see the joy in his face when Hannah would giggle while petting all of the various animals. That was a great discovery because I have always wondered if at some point the owners would come out yelling at us because we were too close or something. But we got the ok to come over and over.... that we will do!
Hannah has obviously experienced that the goats will eat just about anything which is why she is cautiously watching her behind instead of smiling for the picture!
There are some of the sweetest cows right now on the trail that we walk. They are young and very curious about both Hannah and Sadie.
Hannah, being the animal lover that she is, could spend hours at the fence. It always takes a bit of convincing to leave.
Hannah in action.
Everything and anything is blooming right now, I let Hannah smell the flowers at the post-office the other day and now she wants to stop and smell them all. Today we did that. Our week finally calms down by Friday and we have no reason to rush. So if smelling flowers is what Hannah wants to do... it sounds good to me!
Again these are some of the ducks we have helped through the winter with various loaves of bread!
And here are some of the first baby ducks of the season! We saw 4 different families... they are so small and fuzzy! The mom's are very protective right now (which is understandable) and they were not to fond of Sadie even being within sight of their babies. She was on a leash not more than 4 or 5 feet from the stroller but there were 3 ducks that decided they would do something about it. As they flew directly at Sadies head I realized on the upswoop my head was in danger! I quickly hit the deck only to feel the wind of their wings, I was greatful that I was paying attention! All this while Hannah laughed uncontrollably! Where's the video camera when you need it?

Ha! I love the descriptive picture of the duck attack. And how Hannah was laughing uncontrollably in the background. Kids are the greatest, aren't they?
Um, Christina... I just want to tell you how much I love your posts, your perspective on life, your joy in everything, and your friendship. Please, let's go for a walk by the 'zoo' this upcoming week:)
