baby farm animals!

Writing from Sydney, Australia
(11:06pm Sydney, 7:06am NYC)


Yesterday we went to Paddington Market, a nice outdoor shopping market where local artists and designers peddle their wares. Before we left I checked out their website... it mentioned that every second Saturday baby farm animals are brought in for children to pet. Too good to pass up!

Since I'm a big kid at heart, I paid the $5 to enter the mini petting zoo. I got to feed the calf and lambs and pet the goats. Bunnies, a spotted piglet, guinea pigs, ducklings, doves, and chicks were also there to ooh and aah over. All of the animals were from Bowral Farmyard Friends, a service run by Malcolm Dowling that introduces young city kids to farm animals.


Freaking adorable!
