Animal Fun

The other day I took my son to Bluebird Gap Farm, a farm run by volunteers and a place where the kids can see all sorts of animals. Best part? It’s free to the public, and there is an enormous play structure and picnic area. It’s great for a quick family outing.

I took my five-year-old on a little day trip and we packed a picnic lunch to take along. He wasn’t thrilled with the cows, sheep, or goats. His favorite? The deer. Now why did this particular animal attract his fascination?

“He peed on the ground, Mom! Look! Ewww, gross!!”
“Yes, honey. They do that.”
“But why do they have to go to the bathroom on the ground? They need to use the potty.”
“They don’t make them big enough for deer.”
His little face scrunched up. “Oh. I guess you’re right.”
