Barn Babies!

Last week, Dan took the morning off and kept Finley at home in order to bring him to my school for a special event: Barn Babies!  A well-loved spring tradition at Bowen, Barn Babies arrives in a big van with lots of cute little farm animal babies and two well-trained gals to share them with us.  

My kids were super excited and when Finley arrived, he got in on the enthusiasm and couldn't wait to go upstairs to see all the animals.  We sat and listened to the girls tell what what animals they had brought and how to be safe with them.  A pot-bellied pig, two lambs, three puppies, lots of kittens and bunnies, and two chickens.  As expected, Finley wasn't exactly sure what to make of all of this at first...but he came around and wanted to get into the puppy pen.
Not too sure what to think about these excited puppies...
Then we held a kitten, who kept reaching for Finley with his paws whenever Finley would wave and say hi.
This next one is pretty funny, Finley just kept saying "Hi Kitty" over and over getting closer and closer to its adorable dace.
Next up, the lambs' pen.
And back to the kittens...

Finley's turn to hold one!
He had no interest in holding a chicken or a bunny, but couldn't help going back for a visit to the puppies.
Now he's looking like a pro!
Such a fun treat to have Finley with me at school and to see him get to enjoy such a special experience up close with all these Barn Babies.  Hopefully he won't get any ideas about wanting pets on the home front :)
