It was raining when we took the boat trip around the lake, and I was having a headache, so not many photos of the lake itself. More of that in the next post..

Lots of sheep...


Oncoming wave of sheep..


I'm caught in the midst of a sheep stampede!

Thundering up the hill


Meh meh poking its head out of the fence


Chilling out on the hills

Fun in the sun!


After play, Xiao Mi is sleepy
