At first, the plan was to go camping in Goomburra park with a bunch of friends. But the weather didn't really turn out, so we decided to take all our swags and camping gear and go to our friend Lukas's house. Lukas lives on a dairy farm, so we spent the evening playing with one of the 7 dogs, squealing at pigs, getting nipped at my horses and their babies, learning how to milk a cow!, camping out in his living room, and having a bonfire. The farm was filled with baby animals, which is weird, because my head is thinking fall, but its really spring around here. An excellent alternative to camping :)
