Petting Zoo... Yahoo!

Last Friday I took Kate, and my little sister Anna to Thanksgiving Points petting zoo. Kate loved it, and was totally going nuts over all of the animals!
Here is her first face to face encounter with a cow! She even got to pet his nose!

My amazing photography skills don't exactly depict what is actually going on in this picture, so I will just tell you... Kate got to go on her first real pony ride!!! At first she was a little nervous, and didn't really want to stay on, so I had to hold her with both hands and walk in a million circles next to the pony (now I can sympathize with these poor animals!). By the end of the ride she did not want to get off, she absolutely loved it!!!

We also met a crazy goat, who was taller than me! It was so funny he followed us around next to the fence the whole time, and then stood up and peered over the fence at Kate.

... and what petting zoo trip wouldn't be complete without meeting a llama! It was hilarious, the llama kept trying to eat Kate's feet, and she was not sure what to think (not to mention that there was a "watch out I bite" sign right next to his head). We are still not sure why biting animals are in a petting zoo.

To complete our awesomely fun day we stopped at the pumpkin patch, (at Annas demands). Kate got to pick out a pumpkin, which we will have to save for about a month before we can carve it for halloween, but in the meantime it will make a great decoration!
Lucky Girls!!!
