There were a lot of school groups there when we first got there, so we decided to do the wagon ride to see all of the animals up close. Luke and Olivia each got a bucket of feed and sat on our laps while we rode a wagon for about 45 minutes to see all of the animals, including a rhino, giraffe, pot bellied pigs, and ostriches. Luke loved to grab handfuls of food and throw it off of the wagon while Olivia preferred to transfer her food from one bucket to another. One time an ostrich got a little too close and nipped at Olivia's hand, but luckily she was ok. After we had a picnic lunch, we went back to the petting zoo to give the animals the rest of the food we had left from the wagon trip. Olivia certainly has no fear when it comes to the animals, and we had to keep a close eye on her to make sure she didn't try to give too many hugs to the animals! Luke keeps a safe distance and had more fun playing with the animals from afar.
Luke and Olivia love being outside and they had fun exploring so many new things. After a quick nap on the way home, we got ready to go to dinner with some friends to celebrate Dan's birthday. We tried to go to On the Border, but a 2 hour wait for Cinco de Mayo made us change plans. We ended up at a place called Killington's Pub and had a nice dinner. The babies were exhausted by the time we got home and passed out in their beds immediately.
Happy Birthday, Dan!!! We love you so much!
