Last Sunday, we took Fiona to Tilden Park -- a beautiful park that is conveniently located up the street from us. Because we were experiencing a typical September California heatwave, we took advantage of the cooling-down opportunity offered by Lake Anza. Fiona has become quite a water-baby of late; she relishes her baths and has discovered the joy of splashing. Needless to say, she loved exploring Lake Anza.
Sufficiently refreshed, we headed over to the Little Farm. (Tilden Park has created a little farm complete with a variety of barnyard animals for children to enjoy, and it has become one of Fiona's favorite spots). It's very challenging to get photos that include both Fiona and the animal she's watching (if babies don't always cooperatively pose for photos, animals are even worse!), but here she is watching some cows:
and here is Fiona with the rear end of a sheep:
As you can see, it was all we could do to keep her from jumping into the pens! So then, it was time for her to face the beast....
That's right: Goats.
I'm delighted to report that Fiona seemed to have no recollection of her earlier goat trauma. I'm sure that early experience is now firmly locked in her subconscious, only to emerge several decades down the road when she ends up in therapy for generalized anxiety issues.
