Cow girl

After a marvelous trip we are back in the big city. The last two days we all got our first experience of cow farming on the Brunot farm owned by Emily's parents. Initially, things were looking bad as we couldn't find the cows. Fortunately rather than having been rustled, they were simply hiding under the trees for shade from the 37 degree heat. My first farming experience started poorly when I was stung on both ankles by a wasp whilst opening a gate. Bluet was not with us at that point, so when we introduced her to the cows yesterday morning, she was rapt, as you can see. She watched them for maybe 10 minutes, leaning out the car window. She practiced mooing. And then as we drove away, Bluet pointed out the window and told us all about the cows that had been in view previously. Unfortunately we don't understand Bluet language yet, but suffice to say she loved them.

She also really liked playing in the sand, gravel and water at Big Creek. Sadly no one had a camera, but she was happy there for at least 2 hours
