The Gentle Barn

The 2nd birthday party circuit continued this weekend with a celebration for Peter's friend, Alexandra, at The Gentle Barn. The Gentle Barn is a wonderful farm that rehabilitates abused and neglected animals.



First, the kids got to feed carrots to the horses.


"That was fun!"


This is Peter's friend, Dylan, and her mom on our walk up to the barn to see more animals.


As soon as we got up to the barn, Peter found this cool chicken and sat right down next to him.


And started throwing dirt... (Not exactly the kind of behavior they encourage at The Gentle Barn.)



Moving on from the dirt... Peter, Dylan and Eyal were fascinated by this enormous pig.


I could tell he was tempted, but luckily Peter didn't throw any dirt at the pig.


Peter likes chickens.

And tractors.


Happy Birthday, Alexandra!



Gimme some cake!

That is SO great--to rescue farm animals, to rehabilitate them so they can be calm and compliant around young children. Wow--what a perfect "teaching" moment for Peter.
