It started out as a great idea: "It's a beautiful, crisp Fall day. Let's take Norah out to a pumpkin patch and petting zoo", we thought. Well, you know what they say: 'The best laid plans of mice and men...." right? :-)
Norah had a great time, initially. We bought some cider so that Daddy can make some hard cider to warm us during the Winter months. Norah played in a pumpkin patch and got to pose with one as big as she is. We got our picture taken with Frankenstein and some other scary characters. And, we even got to visit with some roosters, goats and deer.
Then, came the Lama pen. We had been having such a fun time getting up close and personal with the animals that we didn't even think about the quirky personalities of these "Sweaters-with-hooves" until it was too late. And, for those of you that don't know...lamas spit....a lot.
We were just about to get the cutest shot of this furry little friend sauntering up to our daughter when....WHAM! This precious Peruvian animal hocked up a giant loogie and spat it in Norah's face! That's right. You heard it here. A lama spit in our daughter's face.
Mommy and Daddy's fears were quickly assuaged once we ascertained that the offensive liquid had not gotten in her eyes and/or mouth and began laughing. Norah, on the other hand, did not take this assault so lightheartedly. She began crying...hard. After a few minutes of tears (and some anti-bacterial gel on her hands etc...) Norah came back to her senses and was right as rain. The incident, however, will be forever etched in our memories....just one of the many that we love to share with all of you.
