Kai at Makaino Children's Animal Ranch

Tuesday was a bank holiday here so we made it into a long weekend and spent 4 days in Shizuoka. The highlight was visiting Makaino Bokujo, a farm for kids with goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, wallabies, sheep, lambs, pigs, ducks, cows, horses and ponies.
We started by introducing Kai to the goats and rabbits. He was slightly nervous at first, but he learnt that he could trust them and before long was feeding them, touching them and later, chasing them.
Kai got on especially well with the smaller animals: goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, wallabies. He was pretty scared of the cows and horses.
Overall Kai had a really great time and was laughing out loud with his new "friends". We went back a second time the same weekend as he loved it so much!
