Black Swan Farm

On Thursday we went on a field trip to Black Swan Farm
in Waxhaw. It was a wonderful visit. The owners were experienced guides who knew how to joke with and keep children's interest. There was lots of hands on activities, and we got a ride in the wagon behind the tractor. The kids also got to watch a goat milking, pull fur from an Angora rabbit, and feed the sheep (we also got a neat sample of wool). Camille was in heaven. She loved the goats and while she listened more than she normally would, she kept running back to this pen to pet this goat. At the end of the tour, the woman let a bunch of goats run with the kids in a corral. Camille had a grand time carrying the kids around. Umberto said "It's an animal party."

Camille and Piper petting some more goats. The goats were very friendly, and they smelled nice. The girls loved it when one goat escaped and I chased it down.





The boys after getting squirted with goat milk. They were quite excited about this. Also a big hit was Farmer Gary's seat. It was like a metal bike seat with a spring on the bottom that attached around your waist with a belt. I thought it was something all mothers could use.

Piper petting one of her favorite animals, chickens. This particular chicken laid green eggs!
There's more pictures here.

Our analysis indicates that mega rich Chinese are much less chanel replica handbags likely than ever just before to order exactly the same brand names as every person else with all the very same massive logos to point out off position. They’re going far more toward inconspicuous consumption in chanel replica handbags and attire whilst turning into far more flamboyant in automobile purchases and jewelry to show standing, which can be why chanel replica sale revenue there of Ferraris and Lamborghinis are soaring. A single wealthy chanel replica handbags gentleman in Beijing informed me, “Everyone can buy chanel replica now, although not several can purchase a Bentley.” To see what could come about to Louis Vuitton unless it could improvise, check out luxury vehicle organization Audi.
