There's one major one I noticed you haven't done, held a baby lamb. That is one I've done for some strange reason....

Ms. Charlotte said...

Wow, you're lucky Joe. I'd love to hold a baby lamb!

Joe Kester said...

It was actually only about a week or two old, one of my cousin's friend's neighbors had a sheep farm (out in Iowa) and just before we went to Iowa a lamb was born off season (summer instead of winter) and he let me hold it. I have pictures of it somewhere but I am not sure where.

I got to hold a Koala bear in Australia, but I'd still really love to hold a little lamb. You should post the pics!
