Our First Petting Zoo

A couple of weeks ago Morgan aI d I visited my parents over an extended weekend. Morgan and my dad worked on some home improvement projects while I was able to head out on the town with Avery and Wyatt. One of our stops was a petting zoo that I remember going to as a kid. I was a little anxious because a petting zoo and twin toddlers could mean a disaster, but I was definitely optimistic as we headed out.

I started them out in the stroller just so I had a way to corrale them if needed. I ended up taking them out soon after walking through the gates to let them run wild and check out all the cool animals. They were way too excited to keep them buckled in for long. Animals are definitely high on our list of favorites right now. We are making the noises for dogs, kitties, cows, roosters, horses (on of our favs), elephants, ducks, geese, even turkeys and so many more.

The animals were all over in separate cages and so we went from the huge bunny, to the duck and fish pond, to the pigs, goats, and sheep. We stopped at the ponies for quite awhile and then made our way back to check out the llamas, cows, horses, turkey and chickens.

They had such a good time and many of the patrons there made goo goo eyes at them - I guess they are adorable or something like that. Who knew!?
