We have some really fun neighbors. To our left, there are horses, and to our right, there are cows. Sometimes our friends to the right like to come visit us at camp, or at least get as close as they can without hopping the fence. Who would have thought that we'd have our very own "petting zoo," minus the actual petting? Yesterday, the cows, who resemble those fiesty guys over at Chick-fil-a decided to pay us a visit, and our Junior campers thought they'd be polite and say hello.
A few minutes into the visit, Henry, a camper, turns to Miss Erin and says, "Why is that cow standing on top of that other cow?" Erin and Amy turn to see our friends procreating right there in front of our campers. "Um, they're just dancing."
Henry turns and says "uh uh, there doing this," and then begins to mimic the cows. Oh goodness Henry, you're 5. How do we explain to a 5 year old what these animals are doing? They left it at dancing, though I'm pretty sure he didn't believe them. Now, of course, we had a little talk with our friends that they need to be a little more discreet from now on. They couldn't promise us anything, so we'll just have to keep a watchful eye. I don't know, maybe word will spread that we have dancing cows at camp and more people will be lining up to come. Who knows?
