There is a cool little petting zoo in nearby Troutman (about a 45 min drive) that friends have told me would be a great place to take Luke and Olivia. On Thursday we decided to go check it out. So much to see and do!
There were lots of school groups, so we just joined one of their tours around the place. We saw a tiger, baby tiger cub and lots of horses, camels and other animals to feed in the barn. Olivia jumped right in and started feeding the animals right away, while Luke was more cautious about sharing his food at first. He was content to just walk around and play in the hay. I love their different little personalities!
We walked around a lot and then jackpot-a HUGE corn sandbox for them to play in. Who knew corn kernals in a box could be such fun? They played for at least 30 minutes transferring corn from one bucket to another, kicking their feet and making "corn angels". So cute!!! Luke also decided to walk around with his hands in his pockets for much of the day. He looked like such a little guy! We then took a break to have a picnic lunch, and we happened to share a table with 7 year old identical twin girls who were there with a field trip. It's amazing to think Luke and Olivia will have their own school field trip and adventures all too soon.
After lunch it was back to the corn for a little more playtime before we headed for home. It was one of the most fun days we've had together, and I definitely look forward to going back with Dan and the kiddos one day.
