David at the Taylor Farm

My brother Nate & family recently bought some horse property near their home in Mapleton, UT and they've been gradually building their animal collection.  Two horses, two ducks, two bunnies, and a lot of chicks.  When we were out West for Grandpa's funeral we stopped by their house for dinner and Family Home Evening.  They took us for a little jaunt to see the farm while we were there.  David thought it was a blast.

Here is Ethan showing David Marshmallow, a Lion-Head Rabbit. Talk about a fluff ball! I was surprised at how light she is.

David carried her all over and kept saying "He's so cute!" (everything's a "him") I couldn't convince him to put her down and look at something else!

I stopped recording after a bit, and then David said, "Look Horse, it's a bunny!" which I thought was darling, and so started recording again as he walked over to show the horse the bunny.

He eventually put Marshmallow down and went into the tack shed and climbed on bales of hay with his cousin Evan and the dog Kaylie.  David really liked Kaylie, too.  Then Nate suggested David ride a horse.  (!!!!)  That's little boy excitement right there.  Here's Nate leading David (and Kaylie) to meet Tango. 

Meeting Tango...

Look at my big boy!  Oops, the flash spooked Tango...

And off they go for a ride...

For reasons I cannot offer besides the fact that David's a boy and he's three years old, he found great delight in kicking the chickens.  I am so sorry Nate and Julie, kids and chickens!  Here he's with Ethan as they start to put all the chickens and ducks away for the night.

Thanks for the tour, guys!
