More Fun From Truman Lake Rug Show and Hook In

Patty Wallace and her Flock broke out in a flash mob after lunch.  They all donned white stocking hats with ears and sang a song "I Am A Lamb" to the tune of "Barbara Ann."  Here are some pictures and the words to the song are below the pictures. 

Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs,
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs,
I’m a lamb, in God’s hands, I’m a lamb
He’s got a flock of lambs who know him,
Robbers can not steal them from his hands.
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs.

Went through the fence, looking for some friends,
God saw me scram, so he brought me back again
Cause I’m a lamb, baa baa, baa baa, in God’s hands.
You got to follow where he’s going,
God’ll take you in the promise land.
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs.

Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs,
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs,
I’m a lamb, in God’s hands, I’m a lamb
He’s got a flock of lambs who know him,
Robbers can not steal them from his hands.
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs.

Tried many moves, tried getting loose, tried petting zoos,
But I knew they wouldn’t do,
Cause I’m a lamb, baa baa, baa baa, in God’s hands.
You got to follow where he’s going,
God’ll take you in the promise land.
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs.

Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs,
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs,
I’m a lamb, in God’s hands, I’m a lamb
He’s got a flock of lambs who know him,
Robbers can not steal them from his hands.
Baa baa baa, baa, baa we’re lambs.

Baa we’re lambs,
Baa we’re lambs.

As you can tell it was a day filled with all kinds of fun!
