At the Zoo

April 18, 2009

So when spring finally arrives you better believe that everyone in Michigan takes advantage of the great weather.  Today we (and everyone in the city of GR) went to the zoo.  It was really crowded so it was hard for Liam to see a lot of the animals but he was able to have some hands on experiences.  His first was with a bunny rabbit.  He squealed with delight and kept patting it.

Then we headed to the petting zoo.  It was Liam's first time and he loved it!  He was a little rough with goats and kept grabbing their horns and yanking.  We did a lot of reinforcing "Gentle, Liam, gentle!"  thankfully the goats were very understanding :)
At the petting zoo there is a red line that is the animals "safe zone,"  they go there to get a break from crazy kids like mine.  As you can see from this pic there were quite a few animals that wanted nothing to do with us.  Can you blame them?
