Baby Animals

We went to Baby Animal Days this year along with about 2 million other people.  It really was so fun, and once the crowds thinned out, it was excellent.  For those of you who have never been to this grand event, allow me to share some of the highlights from our day there.  First, Jake was the only kid to really care about the baby animals.  He loved all of them, but was especially sweet holding a duckling and a little chick.  Bennett and Owen were mainly interested in throwing spears at the wooly mammoth (a fake wooly mammoth if you were wondering), and throwing tomahawks at big pieces of tree trunks.  Oh, and cotton candy.  We watched a blacksmith, saw a sheep be shorn, and were highly impressed by a young man with a bull whip.  It was so loud it totally freaked Finn out.  Other than that he enjoyed himself.  Jason's favorite thing:  the penny farthing bicycle.  My favorite thing:  roasted corn on the cob.  And the teeny tiny turtles.  And Jake holding a duckling.
