Party Animals!

A couple of weeks ago Abigail's buddy Bri celebrated her 3rd birthday with an afternoon at Hershberger's Farm and Bakery up in Amish Country (http://www.travelhost.com/ohamish/hershbergers-farm_bakery).

As well as looking cheeky and giggling a lot, the kids had a chance to feed the animals, milk a goat and pick up some rabbits and puppies.

Abigail was really hesitant to touch all these small, fluffy, cute animals ...

... but when we suggested a pony ride ... she couldn't have got there quick enough ... and ended up having 3 rides over the course of the afternoon!! The logic behind loving the ponies and not the little animals is beyond us!!

As the pony rides were such a hit ... we suggested that she try one of the BIG horses with daddy ... and again she surprised us with an immediate yes, rushing over to the horses and loving that experience too (although the look on her face in the photo below didn't catch all the smiles)!!

There was also the chance to ride in an Amish buggy around Hershberger's so Amanda, Bri's mum, went with Abigail, Bri and her big brother Zach for a ride!

After all the fun with the animals we enjoyed cake and ice-cream and present time ... see the birthday girl below with her cake!

It was a really fun afternoon for all of us who were awake ... and Naomi was an angel sleeping the whole way through the festivities in her buggy!!
