Emus, Wallabies, and Antelopes...OH MY!

Saturday we took Ansley to the local petting zoo. They were having pig races, pony rides, face painting, and all kinds of good food! My new friend, Courtney asked us to go along with her and her little girl, Aubrie. They make a trip there EVERY DAY...I know, she is one dedicated mom! Aubrie loves it there and Ansley does too! They have a big barn where you can see all kinds of animals from goats to kangaroos and emus. Ansley has never been exposed to many of the animals we saw, but she really took a liking to the antelopes! She was very curious about them!
After a little time, she was brave enough to finally start feeding some of the goats. To see her muster up the courage to place her tiny hand in front of the goat's mouth was so precious! She loved it! She also loved the roosters! She was entranced by the cock-a-doodle-dooooo!
Not only could you feed so many different types of animals, but Ansley was also able to ride a pony while she was there. She was adorable...she would kick her legs on the side of the horse to try to make it go faster and she would rock back and forth. Ride 'em cowgirl!
We will definitely be taking Ansley back soon. She really enjoyed it! However, next time we'll be picking a cooler day!

How funny is this picture...Ansley in a cowgirl hat and Aubrie with a bow!

This girl was sweating!



This girl loved the pony ride!

We had a great day visiting the animals with Ansley and Aubrie!
