Visit to the Nursery Farmyard

Audrey and Eli were very lucky to be invited to the Nursery Farmyard to help celebrate Tessa and James' 2nd birthdays. Although the Nursery is on the fringes of the suburbs of Canberra it felt like we were in the countryside. There were lots of animals there for the kids to interact with - rabbits, lambs, pigs, a pony. Audrey and Eli both held the rabbits and helped feed the sheep (including bottle feeding the lambs). Audrey was also brave enough to step into the pen with 2 big female pigs to help give them a brush. She also helped brush the ponies. A big step up from a girl who freaks out at cats and dogs!

Afterwards, we enjoyed eating birthday cake. Here are some pictures from our morning.
