The Gentle Barn

Today we took Ethan to the Gentle Barn. It is an organization that rescues severely abused animals. It is also a program for inner city and at-risk youth to help build self-esteem and learn positive values. The Gentle Barn is open every Sunday to the public and I have been wanting to take Ethan there for months. The weather was absolutely perfect today so we headed over there and had a blast! We hope to go back for a visit soon.

That's a lot of hay!

The fattest pig on earth! His belly dragged on the ground.
Ethan playing with the chickens
Ethan poking the chicken with a stick...
I wonder where he learned how to do that Grandpa Tom?
More piggies
Ethan not too sure of the friendly goat
Mommy and Ethan with the huge horses.
That horse kept trying to put his lips around Ethan's head!
