Ride a Donkey Day

With cousin William visiting from Toronto, Liam and Seamus were excited to share with him the things they love most about living on Gael Glen Farm.  First they showed him how to ride Charlie.

William tried it out but wasn't loving it.
True to her petting zoo roots, Charlie was the most lovely beast today.  So gentle and patient with the boys.

Next, Liam and Seamus showed William Martha's tricks.

Seamus is encouraging Matha has she attempts to climb up the curly whirly.
The boys think this is hilarious!
Finally, Liam and Seamus tried to give William the rare opportunity to pet Kate, our half-blind duck.

William was not very impressed by Kate.
Despite the best behaviour of our farm family, they were unsuccessful at winning William over this time around.  Instead, he was much more interested in trying to escape his mother in order to splash in the mud/poop sludge in the chicken run.  William also thoroughly enjoyed sticking his mittens elbow deep in the chickens' water bucket when mom wasn't looking.  He wouldn't be a normal almost two year old if he wasn't captivated by the possibility of playing in super stinky poop mud.
