We enjoyed a beautiful summer day! This afternoon we took a short drive to the river and splashed around. Not quite as fun as the beach but still pretty cool! Like usual Jaco sat away from the water wanting to go home while the girls and daddy had a ball splashing and looking for the perfect skipping rock. Then after dinner the kids and I went to visit our local petting zoo. Ok, it is not really a petting zoo just a family nearby with a bunch of goats that love to be fed the grass they can't reach through the fence. Tonight we discovered a new baby goat had joined the group. We were having fun watching him run and play when the owner of the goats showed up. He was so nice and let us pet the baby. They milk it's mama and bottle feed the baby so he will be gentle and tolerant of humans. The kids were able to help feed the baby a bottle of milk. The owner also let us see some piglets. The mama pig was a little grumpy. She barked and growled at us warning us not to go near her young. The owner took a pitch fork and gently lifted a piglet out so we could pet him too. It was so nice of this man to cater to us. The kids were thrilled and didn't want to leave. Then if sharing the animals with us wasn't enough, the owner gave us some lemon cucumbers. Little balls that taste like a cucumber! It was a great summer day!

Looks like a pretty fun outing! What a twerp Jaco is!
How Fun! And yes your scenery has changed from the beach! So I was sitting here giggling to myself cause I was wondering if you made your kids wear the helmets cause the goats are dangerous? Love the pictures and I have never seen a cucumber that looks like that! Did they really taste normal?
I love the scenery!! If it wasn't for the beautiful mountains and trees....I'd think you were on a Iowa farm! Miss you!
Funny Mir, she only makes her kids wear the helmet on the bus! Get it right! J/K Punky, we love you! I love the pictures of the baby goat and pigs, we went to the lamest petting zoo today that cost a ton of money for what you got to experience and my kids were terrified! They were pretty much thrown in to a cage with full grown goats and a 60 and 300 pound pig! Logan was screaming so hard that I snuck in, (w/o paying) but I figured that they had already ripped me off, and I kept having to stand between the kids and a goat that was desperate for attention and kept rubbing it's horns on our heads! Needless to say, our experience with goats and pigs wasn't nearly the sweet memory yours is!
