We went to see the goats and pigs and then we were treated to the pig races. Our pig came in 3rd. Brittney Spareribs was in no hurry to get around the track.
this is our whole group. If you zoom in you might be able to find the Doodlebug. She was dressed all in pink. Pink is her favorite color this week.
Our last stop was at the petting zoo and let me tell you I am personally glad it was last because we got to spend extra time there. It was hard to get her away from all the critters. What a change from a few years ago when I could not get her within 10 feet of a live critter.
This one was a surprise to me. It is the first time I have seen a Zebra in a petting zoo.
It is hard to tell by the above picture but these are called Button quail and it is because you could fit about 10 of the little critters in the palm of your hand they are so small and cute. Of course my child wanted to take several home as pets.
This Alpaca was our favorite animal in the whole zoo. We both wanted to bring him home. With that cute little face and expresive eyes we were hooked. Most of our carrots went to him.It was a wonderful day and after we left we went to the pet store and she got to pick out an algea eater for her fish tank. We had been telling her for awhile when we had a little extra money we would get it for her. Well her profits from the yard sale, for giving up some things, went to get "Al". He and Mystery are getting along great. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
