Bebe Goats

I took the day off today and wanted to do something fun with Karsten. It is sooo hot here, but we wanted to go to the petting zoo, so we headed out first thing in the morning before it got too hot. We've only been to the petting zoo once before, shortly before he was one, so I don't think he remembered it too much.

Luckily, most of the animals were in a very heavily treed (aka shady) area so it didn't feel so hot out! We saw turkeys, bunnies, ducks, pigs, and Karsten's favorite....the baby goats. He was timid feeding them at first, then he got more comfortable and would let them take the food right out of his hand.

And each time they took one from his hand he would laugh and laugh.

We also saw a buffalo, a longhorn bull and some horses. Karsten pointed to each of them and said 'want on'. I don't know why he wanted to ride all of the animals; however, he says that each time we drive by the horses that live up the street from us.

Then we stopped in the shade for a quick snack and a water break.

Then we headed over to the dairy barn to see if they were milking the cow - no luck, we missed that. Karsten had a good time ringing the cow bell around this statue's neck.

Then he realized that his hands were dirty - he is not a fan of being dirty. He kept saying 'mommy, dirty hands'.

Riding on the saddle - this was as close as he got to getting 'on' the horses or cows.

He had a good time watching the cows.

And we had to stop and ring the cowbell again.

I decided we should stop for frozen yogurt on the way home since it was so hot outside. Who cares that it was almost lunch time - we could have lunch when we got home. :)

You'll notice that he's sitting in a white chair in this picture.

And in this picture, he's sitting in the orange chair. He switched several times - hey, whatever works. :) Getting him to leave once our yogurt was finished was harder than getting him to leave the petting zoo.
