The Cowmonster Pair

I stole this title from an episode of Sesame Street, but I thought it was completely appropriate.  Last Friday, the day after the zoo, we headed down to NC State Farm days to take a look at some more animals.  I always love to check this event out every year and give the boys a chance to see some animals up close.  Evan mentioned wanting to dress like a farmer to go to the farm.  Then Benny wanted to join in.  So, the boys put on their best cowboy duds and headed down to see the farm.

The boys were adorable, the animals were cute, and a good time was had by all.  Last year, Evan was not too excited by the animals at Farm Days because he didn't like the way they smelled.  This year, however, he was excited to see everything.  While we touched bunnies, baby sheep, baby goats, and horse noses, their favorite animal was definitely the little baby chicks that they got to hold in their hands.  Evan held his and just smiled.  He was very gentle and had a good time. I had to assist Ben a little bit.  I was just a little worried that he might love on the chick a little too much.  I held Ben's hands, we held the chick together, and no chicks were harmed in the process.

We finished the day with some time sitting in a tractor and some delicious ice cream eaten on the grass in front of the lake.  Both cowboys were very excited and had a great time, and they looked very handsome doing it!

 (Boys like tractors.)

 (Yep, boys really like tractors.)

 (Ok, so they're just really cute!)
