Davis Farmland!

Nora, Beth and I went to the Davis Farmland. It was a beautiful day outside and we had a great time. We stayed far longer than I planned too! The best part - Nora seems to be losing at least some of her fear of animals! She fed the animals and even touched a baby goat! Granted it was all through the safety of the fence, but it's an improvement!

Early on, she would only feed the smaller goats from a safe distance with her feed cup.

It didn't take her too long to gain enough confidence to get closer to the cute little goats. She would shy away anytime a bigger goat got close to her, even from across the fence.


Beth needed a snack, so Nora got to play in their little water area by the picnic tables while Beth nursed. For those who haven't been to Davis, they do have a wonderful nursing room for days that are too cold or too hot (and for those who prefer and/or need privacy). As you can see, Nora still doesn't quite have the hang of fishing down...she was in the water "fishing' in the dirt...

She really enjoyed pumping the water though!


Nora explaining how the cow "nursers" work.

And now showing me how to get milk out of the "nursers"

Beth enjoyed cruising around the water play table in the water area.


Now she's cruising around the car in the splash zone.

And of course, tasting the water!


Nora and Beth enjoying the fire hydrant spraying them in the more toddler friendly splash zone.

Look at the baby cow, she's sleeping!


Nora feeling safe, actually pets a cute baby goat!

A photo of the baby goats Nora touched!


Towards the end of the day, she even fed the goats with her flat open hand! And, she didn't freak when the bigger goats came watch!

Goats going "smash" according to Nora...
