Oregon State University is very close to where we live and has a strong tradition as an ag/veterinary school. The school opens up the lambing barns each spring so kids can wander through. This year Heather and I took our kids (seven between the two of us!) to go see the mama sheep and little baby lambs.

Beth, watching as I took pictures of the trip, wanted to try a turn with the camera. She managed to capture this little guy.



At first, the two 3-year-olds in our group of kiddos were intrigued by the sheep and walked calmly down the aisle, sweetly holding hands with each other.


However, they were soon frightened by the very scary sight of sheep. Baby sheep! Behind fences! Drinking milk!



They eventually chose to cling to their respective mothers' legs rather than be photographed with the older siblings. Oh well. The little ones were there, even though they chose not to allow us to document the event.

See! Cute kiddos in front of sheep. Nothing to be afraid of.
