Daddy asked us what we wanted to do on Saturday. I asked Leah and she responded, "penguins". Daddy said he wasn't feeling driving to the Detroit Zoo and shelling out $50, so we presented Lili with an alternative: pigs. Leah got super excited and repeated, "petta pig!" (pet a pig) for the next 40 minutes. We arrived at the Farm and Sassy didn't even want to go in! We got warmed up with the bunnies (always her favorite), and gave her some time to get comfortable with her (smelly) surroundings.
Eventually we made our way to the pigs. They were all sleeping, but once they saw we were willing to feel them carrots (pretty sure this was against the rules), they all came out to the pen, peed, and eagerily made their way over to us. Sassy was not amused. Chris and I joked that it was like "Pigeon Wants a Puppy" (a favorite book of ours). Even though Leah was overwhelmed with the small goats, minuture horses, and calfs, she was still sure she was going to pet a pig. As we made our way over to the pig pen, she was repeating, "petta pig!". The second they came out she was like, "the smell! the size! the overall yuckiness! I want a walrus!"
Leah backed up to the fence, and pointed at the pigs, but that is about as close as she wanted to be.
Leah was also very interested in the birds. Here she is at the bird pen right before a bird took a giant dump which splattered on all of us (mainly Sassy unfortunatly). We left shortly after this. Leah and Daddy argued the entire way home about whether or not she had to take a bath when she got home. Point-Daddy, she did. Point-Sassy, she cried the entire time.
