I met up with a couple of my girlfriends at Parky's Farm today for a playdate and lunch. We looked at a variety of animals, got to pet a baby goat, Carleigh rode a horse for the first time ever, got to place on the brand new playground equipment, and walked along the pond.
We had quite the scare though. My friend Jen went into the goat's pen with Carleigh, Avery and Emma to check out the pig. Well, as the kids were trying to pet it, the pig went beserk! First it went after Jen's daughter and knocked her to the ground, then it nearly broke Jen's toe, and then it went after Carleigh. I was on the other side of the fence and was about to hike the fence when a lady we didn't know picked her up. Carleigh was screaming and had a look of absolute terror in her eyes! She was alright with just a little bit of mud on the side of her shirt. All the children were ok, but it felt like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie titled "WHEN PIGS ATTACK!" Of course Carleigh became very quiet and clingy after that. All the animals became scary. We all had to take a few minutes to calm down! I cannot believe that pig was like that! The farm worker apologized and put the pig away. Yikes!
All in all, it was a fun trip and I was so proud of Cody and Carleigh. They did an excellent job of sticking with me and Carleigh was such a big helper pushing the stroller around. They are really growing up!
