Another day, another post, another animal adventure. While I am obsessed with animals (and don't understand how anyone could not be), Sophie seems to be taking more and more of a liking to them, and while it could just be because animals are cute and kids tend to like them, I recognize I could just be an animal pusher and forcing her to like them but either way, who cares?
AJ's dad had a great idea to check out this petting zoo down in south county, and I think we were all surprised about how much it packed a punch, especially because it was pretty small.
Chickens, pigs, emus, llamas, ponies, cows, goats, sheep, rabbits... and apparently their specialty was the guinea pigs, which were pretty cute because they would set them on the bench with you.
Sophie was OB-SESSED with feeding the goats. Once we showed her how to do it, she just wanted to stay there, feeding them food, then immediately reaching for our feed basket for the next piece as soon as the goat downed it. I did the feed the cow but I was pretty intimidated. Those things are really big and strong, I just felt like it could chomp off my hand if it wanted, even though I'm not even sure they have teeth...?
We went back to the guinea pigs after the goats and Sophie kept trying to shove carrots in their mouths to get them to eat but they wouldn't LOL. Had to steer her away from that.
We went to dinner afterwards to celebrate AJ's birthday, and even though she's had whipped cream before (her birthday cake had whipped cream frosting), she either forgot what it was like or else this was way better, because she was a fan.
She's back at daycare today (after 4 days at home) (Hallelujah LOL), and we're looking forward to our upcoming vacation.
PS Happy Twosday! Tuesday, 2/22/22!
