Farmin Around

Last weekend it was supposed to rain cats and dogs. Instead, it turned out overcast and lovely! We ran into Mindy & Charlie at Stella Bella and promptly blew out to the Sheep Shearing Festival in Waltham.


Elliot has taken to storming the camera whenever it is out.


First stop at the festival, the photo op. I can't believe Ben allowed this with the soft serve ice cream truck so clearly in sight. Elliot is not so sure about her head in a daisy.



Ice Creams in hand, we hit the muddy slopes to watch the sheeps being herded by border collies that could dribble soccer balls. Very exciting. Elliot was pointing up a storm. We have no evidence of this. Trust us, the girl likes to point.


Sage old farmer sat the sheep down like a big teddy bear and snipped the wool away.


Alpacas!


Elliot loved all the animals.


Ben loved the baby tiny goat. It's hard to get perspective here, but its only about 6 inches tall!


After the festival, Elliot has a drink with Daddy.


The next day she is up and at 'em. Earlier and earlier all the time!
