A Day at the Zoo

The Petting Zoo
Unbelievably Lukas and Olivia loved the petting zoo. Luke loved that he could brush the animals and Olivia loved how gentle and small they were. The petting zoo we went to at the fair last year had mean little goats that bit you, so she didn't like that one at all.
Olivia loved this little goat in particular, and always had to have her hand on it's back. She followed it wherever it went.
We're really glad these big horned cattle weren't in the Petting Zoo.
Every one loved the drums.

The kids are going on Safari.
Look at the excitement! We bought a cracker that Luke fed the giraffe. He was so nice to break it and try to give a piece to Olivia to feed it, but she wanted nothing to do with that weird looking creature.
Check out the reach of that tongue.

We went to the Binder Park Zoo for a fun outing after Luke's soccer game. We were given free tickets into the zoo for our family so we decided to finally go. Luke had so much fun, and he never even once complained about walking. Olivia was in need of a nap, so she endured it with style. You can figure out for yourself what type of style it was. The highlight for Luke was feeding the giraffes. The highlight for Olivia was the Petting Zoo and her favorite goat. I was sick, and wanted nothing more than a bed and a box of Kleenex. Ryan was so good to be patient and deal with the kids while I survived the trip. It was a beautiful hot day, Luke made sure that we put sunscreen on every one, and then after we got in the zoo we realized that most of it was in the shade and we never really saw the sun. We were prepared though.
