Lucky in love

Today Lillian and I went to visit a local petting farm. There were chickens, goats, emus, rabbits, ducks, geese, dogs, a sheep and a llama. Lillian got to pet a two day-old chick, hold a twelve week-old bunny and feed/pet Lucky.

Lucky is a llama and once Lillian got out into the pasture with him, she was in love. She fed Lucky flowers she picked, stroked his nose, petted his fur and even gave him a hug/kiss. Farmer Mary took us on a little nature walk around the farm and the whole time Lillian kept wondering aloud as to what Lucky was doing. When we got back into the pasture, she went straight for him again. Everyone was commenting on how brave Lillian was to to go up to the llama like that. It was a petting farm - that's kind of the point, to actually pet the animals.

As she was feeding Lucky for the millionth time, Lucky took a nibble of her finger and even that did not scare her away. She said, "Lucky thought my finger was llama food!"

Luckily for mommy and daddy, Lucky would not fit in the car!
