Today started off with Dan finding a turtle in the shed. (not sure why a turtle was in there??) Dawson and Kortney were the only ones home so they got to play with it for quite a while. This kept them busy while Dan was busy setting up to have the sheep sheared. Kortney is so cute. I guess since she's so used to having critters around it's made her fearless. She didn't flinch once with the turtle. They followed it, held it, and played with it until finally it bite Dawson! By then the sheep were ready so we decided to let the turtle rest in the box they set up for it.
So next into the shed to watch the sheep get sheared. Since this is our first time having sheep, this is a new experience for all of us. Dan had a guy come who competes in New Zealand and England in sheep shearing contests. I went to get Travis and Kaitlin from school cause they didn't want to miss out either.
The kids watched and helped with gates for 2hrs before they finally headed off back to the turtle.
Just another day at the Hoggart Farm!
