The Little Red Barn

Last Saturday, the boys were invited to a birthday party for a friend from church.  It was held at a place called "The Little Red Barn."  It was about five minutes from our house and we had no idea it was there.  Thank goodness we do now!  It's a petting zoo, hayride, and playground all wrapped up into one.  Micah and Liam had a blast!!
Liam rode a fun horse swing for about five seconds.

A beautiful peacock bared its feathers for all of us.  

Micah fed a cow corn tortillas while we were on the hayride.  Who knew cows liked corn tortillas?

Liam refused to give his to the cow and ate it himself instead.  This was after he refused fruit and chips I offered before we got on the hayride.  Apparently once he was trapped on the hayride, he decided it was time to eat.

Then Micah fed the cow corn chips.

Liam was also still hungry. Why should the cows have all the fun?

The petting zoo was next, and a little goat named Oreo let everyone feed him.

After he had had his fill, Liam decided it was finally time to feed the animals.  And once he was shown how to do it (with his hand open) and started feeding them himself,

he couldn't get enough.  Check out the sheer delight on his face in the next series of pictures.  He LOVED letting them eat of his hand and kept going back to the feed bucket again and again.

And again.

And again.

And again. Who knows - maybe he'll be a vet one day.

They did each get a chance to sit on a llama too, but not together. Micah sat with another friend from church.

Liam sat with some kid I don't know who didn't look at our camera.

Oh, did I mention that there was also a slide?
