Meet and Greet

Jill's Journal: Why, hello there.

If there’s one thing our girls never, ever, ever get tired of, it’s animals. And every kind too – mammals, reptiles, feathered friends, fish, you name it. If it breaths, eats, and poops, chances are they’re going to love it.

A cute little farm in Templeton named Happy Acres offers personalized tours to meet all their animals along with lessons on goat milking and cheese making. It sounded perfect and right up our alley, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about traveling year-round, it’s that there’s a season for everything. And one of the disadvantages of traveling during the off-season (even in California), is that many things are closed. We’ll have to come back another time to get one of Happy Acres’ tours, but we still got to pet some of the animals on this visit.

There were more goats and chickens and llamas than you could shake a stick at, but is it any shock the miniature horses and miniature donkey were the biggest hits? Victoria was particularly thrilled to find a little paint that was just her size.
