I would give anything to have been recording video just before this happened, it would’ve gone crazy viral, I’m sure of it.
Just before this picture was snapped my girls & a handful of other kids were happily walking through the goat pen at the petting zoo. There were sweet baby goats & all of the children were gathering around feeding them. It was lovely. In slow motion I saw this crazy heffer goat work her way into the group of kids without them noticing & then, with impeccable timing, she reached her neck out, stuck out her tongue & let out the loudest “maaaaahhhhh!!” I’ve ever heard! The kids all went running in different directions screaming their heads off & that darn goat just kept egging them on. If the utter chaos wasn’t so darn funny maybe I’d have been a little more defensive but this was just priceless.
Before what shall from here on be known as ‘the incident’ we were having a pretty awesome time. If you’re in the Maryland area I highly recommend Green Meadows Farm. Just check their website first to make sure they’re open…
And I thought I had my hands full. Who ever knew being turned into bacon would be such a relief. (JOKE people, it’s a JOKE)
Sam is a natural with animals.
Sophie tends to wrap her hands around their necks. The look on that little guy’s face says it all.
She & donkeys however seem to have an understanding.
I understood that I know want a baby cow. BAD.
HOW many gallons come out there? Holy lactating bovine batman.
I consider myself a pretty well informed individual when it comes to animals. I have to admit though I have no clue what that is.
It was a good day.
Place looks adorable! I am googling now. Love the pictures! Happy belated Mother’s Day!! Hope you had an awesome day. 🙂
Is it a really fat antelope?
That’d be one damn fat antelope
Yeah, I retract my comment now that I’ve seen what a Cebu is. 🙂
That is awesome. Seriously awesome.
That place looks fun!
I think the unknown animal might be a Cebu (zebu). I only know this because of Veggie Tales. Check it out.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gQXa9SgrtE Go about a minute and a half in to hear the actual song. It’s cute.
OHMYGOSH! Song of the Cebu! I totally remember that from my babysitting days, I LOVE that song!! I can’t believe I saw one in person and didn’t even know it!
Absolutely hilarious (in a very sweet way)!! BTW I love those pants!
Or skirt? Either way….very cute!
I couldn’t help but laugh when I read about the goat and then about the unknown animal. Just so you know, the unknown animal is a breed of cattle…The Brahman, also known as a Zebu. Google should have plenty of images if you were to do a search. 🙂
I love these kinds of moments! Many time I wished I had a cam running…LOL. Great memories!
LOL he’s just sayin heyyyyyyyy!
Aw, poor babies….that was a funny story!
“That’s just the mom….she says Bahhhhhhh!” Hehe!!
It looks like those funky Brahman Cattle they raise on Pioneer Woman’s ranch.
My Mother has sent me your way via Fb. You officially have a new follower. 🙂
i just had to leave a comment. A similar thing happened when I took my daughter to a small zoo. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tiq6vM359us)
and, i’m from cebu, philippines. hahaha. 😀
I am sorry, but the look on your girls faces is just priceless, and funny. The poor things. They must have been scared. My oldest daughter used to wrap her hands around animals’ neck too, like Sophie. It will pass. 🙂
Did you all go to the one in Frederick or in Jessup?
that first picture is HILARIOUS! i can only imagine how funny that sight must have been! You’re a good “mommy”. I remember all these fun activities my mom used to do with us. Can’t wait to do them with my “future” kids one day.
You crack me up! We took our little one to a petting zoo and the goats were trying to eat her socks. It was awesome – little did I even think about snapping a pic. The funny part is that she liked it. Silly kid. 🙂
Well, I WAS going to follow your blog, but you’re a typical omnivore… Too bad. You seem nice, just very clueless.
If you REALLY knew how bacon was made and what the pigs go through, you wouldn’t have made such an insensitive joke. As to the cows, did you breast feed your own kids? If you did, you’d know cows make what their babies will drink, except milk production cows are forced to continually make more and more and more and kept pregnant all the time. While they’d normally live 30 years, milk cows, do do make abnormal amounts of milk thank to the interference of mankind, only live 6 years, and then they are spent, and then they become the hamburgers you eat at cookouts and in fast food joints because they’ve been mistreated so the meat isn’t even quality enough to use for any other cuts.
There’s some animal information they DON’T tell you at the fair.
And those sweet little animals your kids are so natural with are going to be dead by the end of the year, most likely. Slaughterhouses tend to do that.
That cow was only producing milk for her calves that were right there with her in the farm.
So sorry that the joke offended you, this wasn’t a fair. It was an animal rights farm where they make their profits by allowing families to visit the animals a few weeks out of the year.
This had me cracking up! Bless their little hearts!
We had a calf once when I was little! He thought he was a dog, which isn’t the best thing when he wants to chase you down and lick your face.
^Holier than thou attitude, awesome, Sue. (sorry, it just annoys me to no end when people try to make others feel guilty over nothing.)
