Our Leicester Longwool lambs can be serious. They can be silly. And they’re always adorable. Rachel and I have spent a lot of time with the newborns and watching them never gets old—especially when we capture candid moments like this one! To celebrate Sheep Week, we went through hundreds of pictures to pick some of our favorites. Now, this is where you come in!
Here’s how it works. We’ve included a number above each picture so once you’ve scrolled through our selections; you can leave a caption in the comment section with the correlating numeral. At the end of the week, we’ll pick our favorites and add them to the images.
We start with a series of shots. In a matter of seconds (and several clicks of the camera) we caught this little guy making some pretty hilarious facial expressions. What do you think he was saying/thinking?
#1
Wait. Please take another one. My eyes were closed in that one!
#2
Hey! What are EWE looking at?
#3
A tourist, an interpreter and a reenactor walk into a bar… What? You’ve heard that one already?
#4
Is the grass really greener over there?
#5
Climb every mountain!
#6
Say “cheese” for milk!
# 7
Sooooo good!
#8
Are you my mama?
And… GO! We can’t wait to read all of your creative responses. Be sure to share this link with your friends so we can spread the fun and hopefully a few smiles from Colonial Williamsburg to you!
The fun doesn’t stop here! Take our quiz and see how much you really know about our lambs.

Get it? Sheep at Shields! Ha ha ha! I am cracking myself up!!” (The one in the background is thinking, ‘Yes, but I’ve already moved onto Pride and Prejudice [it.].’)

#7: “Heaven! (I hope you wipe that milk off my face, though. I have to protect my beautiful features for my adoring fans!”
#8: “Well, that is quite tasty. Doesn’t look like the Coke I’ve seen humans drink – white goes with white fur, though, so it’s probably just the right think for little, cute me.”
