Petting Zoo II

  We are on a staycation this week and have been trying to do fun things with the kids while still getting a lot of house stuff done. Not an easy task even without the "fun things". Finally we are going to start remodeling our kitchen...so we have started the planning process.  We are also doing major purging and some yardwork.  Busy, busy, busy. To take a break from all of this, Will and I took Colin to the petting zoo yesterday.We were able to go on the wagon ride that we missed out on last time when my mom was visiting.  It was so worth going back for.  The wagon takes you into this open area that has camels, zebras, bison, cows, antelopes, deer and on and on and on.  They would come right up to the wagon and eat from our hands.  It was so neat.  Colin just loved them. Perhaps a little apprehensive of the big guys but he still enjoyed watching us feed them. Here are some pictures we took (excuse the iphone quality) of our little friends.

The zebras were the only ones they said not to hand feed. That is because they were the only animals in this area that have both a top and bottom set of teeth.  More painful if you happen to get bitten...don't you know.

Will and I really liked this guy.  I thought he was just so cute and friendly. He hung out with us most of the time...

Until big horns came along.  I felt so bad for this guy. How awkward would a set of these be?  They were HUGE!

Cute little guys.  These two were actually raised in the barn there.  So they are really friendly and comfortable around people.

This is a bison getting all close to me.  He was even licking my feet.

Poor guy. This just seems like a mean trick from the powers to be.

Will and the bison.

I want a baby pig.  Preferably the smallest one laying down...but I want him to stay that size.

This is Cracker Jack the camel.

I loved the bird walking exhibit.

Will's little friend.

He wants more food.
