Lamb Watch with Benjamin

Since Benjamin missed out on the previous lamb watch with Lauren & Noah, he and I got up early the morning before Easter to check the sheep. The deal was that when I whispered to him at 3:30 AM he needed to get up and get ready right away. I wasn't sure he would be able to do it. Imagine my surprise when his eyes popped open right away. We didn't witness any lambs born that night but he was able to help out with chores in the morning and help unload a box of brand new baby chicks. I'm pretty sure Benjamin was a farmer in a former life. He was so concerned about the welfare of the animals plus the way he put his hands into the bibs of his snowpants reminded me of that. Check out some pictures from our fun time.
