Petting Zoo and More

Riley's teacher sent us an email letting us know

about a petting zoo/carnival that was going on

in Kaysville.  We had many things to get done

this particular Saturday but I wanted to do something

fun with the kids and have some family time.  

The kids wanted to stay and play with there friends

and Brandon had to quickly finish up staining the

deck but after we got there the kids were glad 

I made them go. 

We got to pet baby animals which is always so fun!

They are so cute! But after we touch them I'm grossed  

out and my kids have to immerse their hand in

hand sanitizer!

Owen loved looking at all the animals but was 

so scarred to touch them.  So Brandon held

Owen's arm to pet a baby goat.  You usually  have your

kids sanitize their hands after they pet an animal but

these baby goat owners wanted you to sanitize your

hands before you pet their baby goat.  Kind of weird!

The kids also got to feed chips to goats. 

The girls rode horses and Owen just watched.

He loves them but at a distance.

They made the girls wear these helmets that everyone

wore.  Yuck!  They sprayed lysol in them after 

each use but they looked so disgusting.

Oh well the girls did not seem to care too much.

Maybe Riley noticed but she wanted to ride the 

horse and conquer her fear of them after being

thrown off years ago. 

Riley was thrilled about getting her face painted 

since the last carnival we went to which was at 

her school wanted money for it and this time 

it was free.

They held baby ducks, so cute and chickens, and

even rabbits. 

Then Paige saw the rock wall and wanted

to give it a try.  She did pretty good half

way up and then got a little nervous and

said it was too hard.  We cheered her on

so she got 75 percent of the way and

that is where she was done.   

After watching Paige, Riley thought she could make it

to the top to ring the bell.  She climbed quite fast

and got one grab away from the bell but the bell

for some reason was too hard to reach out and 

ring.  

Sierra would have not been able to climb the wall

so we let her and owen ride the train.  And since

they were closing soon they let Riley and Paige 

ride also!
