a trip to the petting zoo.

The Sunrise Petting Zoo is a cute little petting zoo that has so many animals for the kids to see and hold. We finally made it for our first visit of the summer. I'd been meaning to take the kids since the beginning of June, but we just never got there. We invited the Carlson's to come along with us.

Levi was so excited to see all the animals and wanted to hold everything he could.Isaiah and Jonah enjoyed seeing the animals and getting up close to look at them, but really had no interest in holding them.And Jayda was a little more nervous and just stood back to watch. She even encouraged Jonah to stay back too! :)Baby Silas slept through it all!There were so many animals to see. Here are the boys checking out the pigs. One of the pigs managed to open the gate and came out - I think the mommies were more afraid than the kids when this happened! yikes!Two little boys so excited, running around together.
Feeding the ducks
We went in with the goats and Levi thought it was really neat. He kept chasing them all around their area. The goats were really tame and didn't seem to mind.The donkeys.
Isaiah says his favorite animal at the zoo was the puppies, and I think Levi would agree with him. The boys kept going back to the puppies while we were there. I hope we make it back to the zoo at least a few more times before it closes for the winter!
