Notice the kids having a frolic on their own?

Not a chance! Clever Mama keeps a covert eye.

It’s best to let them think they’re independent!

The human interloper is quite a curious sight,

even the tiny tots,

pause,

to take,

a peek.

The teenagers have more freedom,

but the herd of ewes and lambs,

always stay together.
