Zoo Much Fun!

When my friend, Lisa, asked about getting the kiddos together last Friday my first thought was to hang out at the indoor playground at the mall. What Lisa suggested was far more exciting - the local petting zoo!

What a hit! Evan had a great time running up to all the animals to pet them. I thought he might be at least slightly apprehensive - not so much! Inside the petting zoo was a smaller area where there were chickens, ducks, rabbits, and some miniature goats. Being a bit on the germ-o-phobic side, this area made me increasingly anxious; Evan pet the tail of a goat who had just - ahem - relieved himself, tried to climb into the chicken coop, and picked up straw from the ground (but luckily never put it to his mouth!). I resisted the urge to hold him the entire time and instead let him do what he wanted - and then scrubbed his little hands with antibacterial wipes when we were done!

We ended the afternoon with lunch and playing at McDonald's before returning home for some great napping!

Only 6 weeks apart - so cute!

Definitely 100% BOY!!
