Gentle Barn - Aug 10, 2011

Today, we went to the Gentle Barn with Rebekah, Aunt Lisa and Papa. It is an animal sanctuary for animals that have been mistreated.

Lindsay: I got to pet a bunch of animals. There were pigs, chickens and one turkey. Also, there were two cows and horses. We got to feed the horses carrots. You hold your hand flat, put the carrot in your flat hand, and the horse will gobble it up with its lips. The turkey was all black and fuzzy. The cows were black and white. The horse's name I fed was Prince Charming. They have a cat and it's black. Also, they have some ducks. When the pig was asleep, it was kicking its feet all around. The turkey kept saying gobble, gobble, gobble. I brushed the cow, and one horse was playing with a ball.

June 29 - Western Bagel Factory Tour

Today we got to go on a tour of the Western Bagel factory. It smelled fabulous. We got to see the big mixers and the machines that process the dough into bagels, plus the ovens and the long, long cooling rack conveyor belts. After we went to the store to bring some bagels home.

Lindsay says her favorite part was everything, but I think she particularly liked going into the cold room for the bagels to rest in after they have proofed.

May 29, 2011 Moorpark College Zoo

TODAY I went to the zoo with gramma,mom and me. WE SAHE a lot of animols . WE ALSO saw a animol sowe. AND THEY FED TWO ANAMOLS.

This was a really neat small zoo. The neatest things were the mountain lion and female lion. Both of their cages were very close to the path, and we got to watch the keepers feed both of these animals. The mountain lion paced and growled the whole time he was being fed.

You too, my mother

for love of unforgotten times
And you may chance
to hear once more
The little feet along the floor
