Little Farm
On Christmas Eve, Santa brought us 60 degrees, good friends and a farm full of animals. On this gorgeous, sunny day, Riley and I headed across the bridge to "Little Farm" at Tilden Park in Berkeley. Our baby bird lover must have spent an hour clucking at the chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks.
Really, I was amazed that Rilz wasn't intimidated by the cows' size. Instead he marveled at them, squealed with laughter at their big tongues and even tried to climb in their pen once or twice. The boy refused to be cowed, so to speak.
Later Riley fed a goat (it turns out, in addition to tin cans, they like to eat celery). Then he and his friend Sophia peeked through a fence to get a better look at some sheep.
Riley's friend Neala arrived and, together, they viewed just-hatched chicks, baby calves and giant honking geese.
Then he mooed at the cows, which were gigantic.
