I recently was able to reconnect with my cousin and set up a visit to her farm in New York State. She grew up on a dairy farm which we often visited and though I didn't realize at the time my parents were giving my brother and I memories that would last a lifetime. New experiences are the foundation of how children learn. Without hesitation she invited us to her farm and I'm pretty sure it's a decision both of us would agree was a great one. Lily and Sarah instantly made a special connection which for me was priceless. They also played all day, got several boo boos and were downright dirty by the end of it all. And they loved every minute of it. I did take candid photos as well but for these we decided to clean them up and walk around the farm. Because how could I not take advantage of the opportunity to get images of adorable kiddos with animals on a farm. I'm pretty sure the Zoo will be a huge let down for Lily and Luke now since they literally had full access to alpacas, sheep, goats, chickens, pigs and bunnies. Not to mention several dogs, cats and horses. I'm hoping to make it back again before school starts and once again life get's crazy.
