We've been wanting to get to the Farm recently, and today happened to be the day that it happened. It was supposed to be a mid-60s, sunny-ish kind of day. Instead, it was chilly and a bit rainy. But we managed to enjoy the time there nonetheless.
This is our favorite time of year to visit the Farm because of all of the spring babies. We saw a calf, kids (the goat kind), piglets, and - my favorite - lambs. I saw a sign somewhere that mentioned baby chicks, but we didn't go hunting for them since it had started to rain.
This is my usual view when we go to the farm - kids racing ahead to see what's next!
When we saw this little guy, I had the opportunity to talk to the kids a little bit about what we celebrate at Easter and the spotless Lamb of God who made the once-for-all sacrifice at the cross. We imagined the Israelites choosing their lamb without blemish for the atonement sacrifice...looking it over for any kind of defect. Praise God that Jesus Christ lived sinlessly and no fault or defect could be found in Him!
Elsa was scared of the rooster that was roaming outside of the cage, so Luke picked her up. Sweet big brother!
This little guy was so cute. He just kept staring at me and held very still. In fact, he did a better job of holding still for his picture than my kids do!
