We had a fun time today at the Farm in the Zoo Open House. There were all sorts of special activities and opportunities to see the animals even more closely than usual. Although all Alex could talk about as we walked to the Farm was getting to touch the animals, once he had the chance he got a bit shy. We walked around in the goat yard, but only Mommy and Daddy petted the goats. We saw the ponies "lunging," which really was just touching a ball on a stick and following other commands, and we got to see the new piglets (not even two months old) playing. We learned about worms and composting, but Alex only wanted Daddy to hold the worms rather than trying it himself. We walked through a large garden with all sorts of vegetables. But Alex's favorite parts of the adventure were getting to "drive" a tractor and feeding the cows. He liked the cow feeding so much we went through the line three times!
Worms!
Alex really liked driving the tractor, but the first thing he asked when he got in the cab was to turn on the radio!
This was right before the cow grabbed the bundle of hay out of his hand. If you look closely, you can see the cow's tounge starting to wrap around the hay.
