{An Affinity for Cows} Sheridan, Wyoming Child Photographer
This morning, my kids and I explored a property owned by a neighbor of mine, who has been gracious enough to loan it to me for my sessions. And to my surprise, our outing was really only about one thing: the longhorns and the cows. I assumed my children would be terrified, never having been up close and personal with a cow, but no, they wanted to pet them! Yikes. I wasn’t sure how close to get or how to make the bulls back up, but between the mooing, the piles of manure, the blowing of bubbles (with spit, of course), squinting eyes and a fair share of pouting, my kids and I survived. =)
Here is the little miss doing her best pose (without plastering her cheek to her shoulder like usual): 
And Jackson concentrating very hard on blowing the perfect bubble:
They then discovered a hole in the barn where they could peek at the cows…quite thrilling I gather for two small children never to have stepped foot on ranch or farm:
And then they began to make their way around the barn to play with us: =)
At this point, I wasn’t sure whether to run or keep shooting…and so I kept shooting. LOL.
Jack inquisitively checking them out:
and Sophia thinking they’re quite hysterical:
And when I asked for one simple photo together…for them to give each other a hug or even stand in the same vacinity…Jackson was entirely opposed to the idea as all he wanted to do was chase cows!!!
When I’d had enough of the manure piles and attempting to keep some distance between my overly confident 2-year-old and the curious bulls, we made our way home in tears because, well, the cows were just. so. much. fun. =)
