Buncha City Folk

It totally cracks me up that my city kids get sooooo excited EVERY SINGLE time we see a wild animal. When we drive out to my moms house we see hundreds of cows and horses. My kids exclaim the whole way...
"Mom, did you see the black one?"
"Awwww, look at all the baby cows!"
"Mom, can we pllleeeaaseee stop and feed the horses?"
"WOW! Look how close that cow is to the fence!!!"
I seriously laugh out loud at how excited they are. So, you could imagine the total frenzy that ensued when we found a family of deer that have been living on our street for the winter. EVERY TIME we see them...
"They are soooooo cute!"
"Oh.... where did the baby go? Is he lost? Oh there he is. They are sooooo cute!"
"LOOK MOM OUR DEER ARE EATING OUR TREE!!!!"
"Can you believe we are so lucky that we have the deer by our house"
"LOOK at them run... they are soooooo cute!!"
"Lets put food out for them." (No... totally illegal)
"What if they starve, mom?"
"Are they too cold outside?"
"They are soooooo cute!!!"
Hahaha! I totally love my city kids! They really are cute animals, but seriously? EVERY TIME we see one, my children's faces light up. Now, slamming on my brakes to let a family of deer pass has a whole new meaning. Not only do I not want my car trashed, what would my kids talk about ALL the time?
