Baxter had a full day today! First, Baxter got to go the barn and meet the animals and help with chores. Then, since it was Earth Day today, we did several projects to celebrate that. Then we went to a local park to ride bikes and play. Here are some photos of our day with Baxter:
This is one of three rabbit litters we currently have. These are American Chinchilla rabbits. They are ranked number 6 on the rare breed rabbit list in the US.
Baxter liked the chicken chicks that are just a week old as they weren't much bigger then him. We currently have 16 chicks of several different breeds. This one is an Americana. If is grows up to be a female chicken it will lay green/blue eggs.
These are two of our 12 alpacas. This is my favorite color - dark brown. Alpacas come in 22 natural colors - from white to fawn to brown to black and grey and the shades in between.
Here are our goat does (females). They are Nigerian Dwarf goats and we milk them daily. We use the milk for homemade cheese and soap.
Baxter even got a kiss from our goat Belle.
Once chores were done Baxter helped the kids build and paint birdhouses. He had lots of fun but needed to wash his pajamas afterward.
Here are the birdhouses Baxter helped with. Evan's is on the left and McKayla's is on the right.
Next we made some birdfeeders for our wildbirds at home. Baxter tried to help stir up the concoction....
but ended up falling in by mistake and Evan had to help him out.
In the end he helped make four bird feeder pinecones that Evan hung in the trees around the playground at home.
This is the small park that we went to this afternoon. It is not too far from our house so we go freqently. It has two baseball fields, a walking/bike path and a small playground.

Then Baxter helped Evan search for four leafed clovers. They didn't find any though.
