The Petting Zoo

Mom took me to Deanna Rose petting zoo today. Nether of us could get over the fact that this was a free activity (well, except for the gas...it's a 40 minute drive). They have all kind of animals at kid level and some that you can pet or feed.

So, I was really interested in watching the cows eat. They eat a lot of hay in one bite! And they look kind of messy. I definitely couldn't eat with them....I ask to get my hands and face wiped after each bite.


I also really liked the goats, though I wasn't much for feeding them myself. I did enjoy watching them eat from mom's hand though. Wow, mom sure does love me...she would have never done that otherwise. There's also a section were you can walk around with the goats. I wasn't so sure the first time we went in, but I started petting them the second time around! Although, be it known I was saying "woof, woof" and thought they were just dogs. Or, I was fooling with my mom in yet another attempt to get a live dog instead of a stuffed one.



They also have multiple play areas for when you want to take a break from the animals. I loved riding on the tractor (mom pushed me around the track), checking out the tepee, and most of all the tunnel slide! I wouldn't even wait for mom to catch me at the bottom (I needed help getting up to the top). This became particularly stressful for mom as I love to go down head first. I'm so daring!




I liked this zoo so much, that we (mom, dad, PaPa, and Gigi) went on the 4th of July! We had a great time despite it being incredibly warm and sticky. Mom will post some pictures of that later.

For those of you who keep us with us regularly. I renamed my Grandma Randall, previously Nonni, to Gigi. I walked up the steps with mom and declared "Hi Gigi" to the right person. I could not find her if it wasn't, "find Gigi", so Gigi she became.
