As mentioned previously, Wyatt is A's best friends, so the two of them took great care of one another while going to visit the animals and see the orchards:
Once we reached the animals, however, they were quite happy to relinquish one another's hand in order to feed the horses some apples from the orchard. A was tickled to no end that one of the horses would eat what she brought for it. As the official horse trainer (Katrina's aunt) wasn't there at the time, the kids couldn't get too close to the horses, but A wished she could pet them. She settled for looking cute while the horse we were trying to photograph wandered off, despite my best efforts to reassure it that it wanted its picture taken. (No, no, really! You look fine. You don't have to do your hair. Just stay put while I take a picture with my daughter! You are very photogenic.)
We then returned to the house, where Katrina's aunt's cats made an appearance. A loves cats, but the cat that she has had the most dealings with (Grandma's cat) doesn't share the feeling, so A rarely has the chance to see a cat close up. One of these cats, however, was very gentle and forgiving, allowing A and Wyatt to pet it for quite a while. What a present for A!
It was a spectacular day at the family compound! Here we are, nearly a week later, and A continues to tell everyone she can about what a great time she had. Thank you to Katrina and the rest of her family for hosting us.
On a somewhat related note (hey, it has to do with animals, right?), last night A was once again calling Grandma on her pretend cell phone. In the middle of the conversation, she suddenly realized that her stuffed lamb had not yet said hello, so she put the lamb on the phone.
My only question: how much do lamb-to-Grandma minutes cost?
