The girls have had a great weekend. On Saturday, we went to "Mr Burke's farm" and this time the girls had a ride on the ponies, they also had a turn at holding the baby goat that was only a few days old.
Brooke and the kid (more farm photos on the other page)
Both the girls slotted into farm life fairly well and were not too afraid of the animals. It took Courntey a while to warm to the chickens and she wasn't going within 50 metres of the goat with horns, but generally they were happy.
Courtney discovered that mandarins grew on trees. It was obvious that she knew fruit grew on trees but it was still interesting to see her face as she picked the fruit, peeled and then started eating.
In the afternoon the girls played with the Burke clan, they had running races, wheel barrow races and even a game of bog ball. Courtney dived into the pack a few times but Brooke was always roving, waiting for the ball to slip loose.
That night we all went to the greyhound races and watched the dogs run really fast. Amazingly, the girls were still awake at 10:30pm when we finally made it home. A great day and thanks again to the Burke tribe for letting us join in.
Obviously Sunday was a fairly quiet day, hanging around the house, painting and cleaning up the toy room.
