Field Study

"A cow says 'moo', a sheep says 'baa', three singing pigs say: 'La La La!'" Lia's and Lorenzo's favorite animal book begins like this. And continues as follows: "'No, no!', you say, 'that isn't right! The pigs say 'oink!' all day and night!" Well do pigs sing or not?? Toddlers are a very curious species, and in order to find out whether pigs can sing, Lia and Lorenzo demanded a trip to a petting zoo.

"Hmm," thinks Lia, "I wonder what makes a pig sing. Maybe Miss Sandy offers Pigsmusik?" Lia will make sure to ask her next Tuesday. The little piglets certainly have their charm, and a singing career doesn't seem too far-fetched when you look cute and have a nice pink complexion.

Meanwile, Superphotographer Brandy and her little assistant took pictures of the sheep. Which in fact do say 'baaa' all day long. No promising career here.

Lia and Lorenzo continued to discuss 'Pigs on Broadway'.

Of course there were lots of other adorable animals like ducks, chicks, cows, and goats. But the pigs simply stole the show. Even if they were too shy to perform. Maybe some other time? A simple 'oink' cannot be it!

A hay ride diverted all attention from swinish behavior.

Our day of fall fun ended with a pumpkin photoshoot.

With B. Cardarelli behind the lens. Who else?
