green meadows

Nothing feels quite like a sheep licking your hands. That's what I learned today at the zoo.

Today we took Kai to Green Meadows Petting Zoo for an exciting afternoon with Nature's Finest. Kai got to feed sheep, and goats from his bare hands and he loved it. He was cracking up with excitement.

He also got to interact with ducks, guinea hens, peacocks. pigs, ponies, geese, an ox, cows, and chickens. He loved his one-lap pony ride, with me guiding the pony, and at the end of the short ride he calmly signed "more." He was yammering on and on about it after we left — he just loved it. It was amazingly cute.
