More zoo

We can't get enough of the zoo animals - It is a good day when we get to the zoo and we got to go twice this week! That makes it a great week. On Tuesday we went solo, just me and the kids. I think that is always fun because we can let Jack lead and we just follow him around. We even got him to ride on the horse on the carousel, he usually prefers to sit on one of the benches. Although you'll see by the last picture he had had enough!
Then we went later in the week with friends. I'm disappointed I didn't have my camera that day because we went on the boat ride for the first time this year. And at the petting zoo they have the cutest little baby goats. They are only 2 weeks old. They are about the size of a cat just bouncing around running from all the kids. Anyone local should try to go see them soon, they were the cutest baby animal I've seen there.
At one point about 10 or so goats and sheep were lined up around some hay eating. Although Jack is a bit scared of the carousel horse, the goats don't phase him. He was right there picking hay off their backs and adding it to the pile for them to eat. Then he'd run to the far corner gather up hay and bring it back for them. One of the goats hit Jack from the side as he swung around and jack knocked him right back. It was so hilarious, he really fit right in with them.
We have had fantastic weather, warm with a slight breeze, cool nights - doesn't get much better than this.

I just wish we could have that kind of weather here in Banff right now.
I can see why Jack was a little scared of the carousel. Some of those horses look like they are running for their lives from some evil monster. What's up with that. I mean they don't have to copy the expressions of a "My Little Pony" but maybe they should have considered the imaginations of the little kids who would be riding the thing when they made the horses faces.

So fun. I loved the scared picture of Jack. Cute. Kate is such a big girl. Sounds like you guys have lots of fun. Sometimes I wish I had place like that to go but I mostly want a back yard.
