When we arrived, a family was leaving and offered us their handcart. Chris was pretty excited to walk in his ancestor's footsteps, albeit in shorts and sandals. But still, the boys really liked riding instead of walking and the little adventure added some "old West" spirit to our afternoon.
One of the most fun things about Baby Animal Days is the opportunity to get hands-on with some of the little animals. Thomas was not interested in touching much, but Gordon was (as usual) just the opposite. He especially enjoyed mauling this poor baby chick.
The boys really enjoyed seeing all of the animals. There were even some adult chickens to observe; some were kind of pretty.
And of course, the puppies-- Gordon's favorite part.
In addition to seeing the baby animals, the kids also got to play percussion instruments. It was loud, but fun.
