Today's playgroup event took Tiny and Melissa to the NCSU Research Farm for "Farm Day," an annual event hosted by NCSU students that offers children the opportunity to see and touch a variety of farm animals. Tiny couldn't have been more excited to arrive at the event and was all smiles as the two of them drove onto the farm property. On the grounds, the NCSU agriculture students had set up several pens with a friendly farm animal or two inside each one. Tiny had a great time feeling the sheep's fleece, petting a horse and cow, and holding a baby chick. She had hoped to pet the pig, but when it squealed up such an awful commotion while its wrangler tried to grab it -- well, Tiny and her playgroup friends decided that the "squeal pig" was maybe just a bit too scary to touch. Also big fun was the chance to watch one of the students squirt a stream of milk right from the cow's udders. Tiny had a fine time walking around looking at the amazing animals. Melissa and the other playgroup mommies had packed lunches, so Tiny and Melissa sat and ate on hay bales -- Are these real hay bales, Mommy? -- and savored their fun in the cool spring sun. Following her peanut butter sandwich, Tiny enjoyed a small cup of chocolate ice cream offered by the farm. And for the big finale, she shared some of her pastel Easter suckers, which the playgroup kidlets couldn't wait to eat! Tiny had a great time with the animals and her friends!
