A Fun Day

This past Tuesday, Kristalyn and I took our kids to Belleview Park. It was so much fun and the kids had a blast. They have a little petting zoo that you can go to, and the kids just loved it. Here are some cute pictures of them at the petting zoo. Tori and Levi were watching as three of the goats were eating. All three goats kept sneezing, and it made the funniest sound. Each time it would happen, Tori and Levi would erupt into a fit of giggles. I was happy to catch one of those occasions on camera:
They have a fake cow there that the kids can actually milk. They fill the cow with water, and the kids think it is so cool to be milking a cow. Tori liked it the most.
Here is Alexis trying to feed one of the goats. All of the animals were so well mannered. Some of the other things that are there are, baby pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks.
Here is our attempt at a group picture

There was also a really fun train ride. The kids loved it. Both the train ride and the petting zoo were only one dollar each. What a deal! After both those two things we met up with some friends from church and ate a picnic lunch. Then was the part of the day that the kids were so excited for. They have this little stream there that is really shallow. All of the kids always play in it, and have so much fun. We came for the first time a couple weeks ago, and noticed that a lot of the other kids had swimming suits and buckets and shovels, so we brought all of that stuff this time. The kids had so much fun. It was so hard to get them to leave. We had to cut the day short because it started to thunder and lightning. Just as we had packed all of the kids up in the strollers it started to pour down rain and hail. We ran to the car as fast as we could, but we all still got completely drenched. It was still fun, and I know we will be planning many more trips there this summer.

What good moms you and Kristalyn are! And how great that you are recording those memories with such entertaining words and pictures. They've added the milk cow since the last time I was there, and I can't believe the train and petting zoo are still only a dollar!
