As I drove with my nieces, Samantha and Maddy, in the back seat of my car, I remarked how next year, the new cousins might be coming with us. Samantha's first thought was to say she would "help them and tell them what each animal is, except the zebra since they'd already have seen one."
First stop was the Bird Show. Macaws and cockatoos do cleve
r tricks and we learn about birds in the process. This is a picture of Greg on roller skates!

There were two huge, sleeping pot bellied pigs, a hedge hog (we got to pet him), rabbits, a Guinea pig, ferrets, donkeys (yes we said the waffles line from Skrek!), baby goats, a baby kangaroo, a monkey, calves, and kittens.

I got to feed a baby calf a bottle. We also feed the baby goats bottles! The volunteers there are so nice and tell us loads of information about each of the animals.
Then it was on to the horse show. Thirteen choreographed acts - a variety of showmanship and beauty. This is truly AMAZING! Here are some pictures.
Sami and Maddy's eyes are glued the whole time. Afterwards you are able to met the riders and pet the horses.
On to pony rides. Samantha remembered their names from last year: Marshmallow and Tootsie Roll.
We went on a hay ride around the farm to see the sheep, llamas, and camels and includes going through a hand made Native American village. The middle section of the area includes wandering goats and llamas you can feed and a swing set to play on. There is a zebra, too. There is also a whole wildlife area with turkeys, foxes, and deer you can feed that we didn't visit that day.

It is a fantastic time and great memory making day. Can't wait to make memories with our two kids there!! Can't you just picture them in the photo below!?
