Petting Zoo

Today we met Jeannie and her kids along with Grandma and Grandad at the petting zoo at Forest Park.  Joshua loved it, even though he threw an epic tantrum right before we left the house and pretty much all the way to the park just because he saw me packing up some snacks and I wouldn't give it to him right then.  Once I got him out of the car he was just fine and ready to go explore.

He really loved the horses.  One of them came right over to the fence so the kids could all pet him.  They loved that!

I love this picture and it was just by chance I was able to get it.  They were all looking at the horse and I asked them to turn around so I could take their picture.  Joshua was just walking away at that moment and just happened to look up at the same time as the girls.

I think the girls might be getting a little too old for the petting zoo.  They got bored pretty fast, but I think they still had fun wandering around for a little bit.

Joshua really didn't like the goats after one got right in his face when we first walked in, but from behind they were a lot less frightening.  He kept grabbing their tails and patting their behinds.  I told him that they were eating, so of course he had to reach down and pick up a piece of hay to try.  The ground looked pretty soggy too.  I'm just hoping it was from the rain and not something else.

I think his favorite animals, besides the horses, were the pigs, bunnies, and the chickens and ducks.
