Saturday we took the girls to Eaton Days celebration in Eaton, Colorado. We took Hannah last year, but we took them both this year. It was beyond exhausting. It was hot and muggy. We did not know that Hannah had not been fed that morning, so without warning, she started crying like she was injured begging for food. It was embarrassing. We got her a snack and left as quickly as we could. We brought her home and started stuffing her full. We normally do feed both of them as much as they will eat plus we give Hannah a vitamin. We don't want hungry little girls in our house.
Fortunately they had a petting zoo again. This year the llama was really nervous so the owner held it while Hannah touched its face. She said it was very soft. I had Zoey outside the fence in her stroller until someone with a pit bull on a leash came up beside us. I grabbed Zoey out of that stroller and got away from that dog. I know the owner felt it was safe to have the dog's face at the same level as Zoey's but I was not a happy camper. We just walked around until Hannah was finished petting the animals.
All the animals are friendly. This goat did not care who was petting it.
The petting zoo is always in the heavily shaded corner, no doubt to
keep the animals comfortable.
This pig was huge! An employee of the zoo sat with Hannah while
she petted it.
I'm not sure who is the most disinterested, Hannah or the goat.
We had both girls all day on Saturday. We went over for a couple of hours and played on their play set on Sunday afternoon. Derrick was really bogged down so we took them off his hands. We all enjoyed it. Then we had them all day today. So, tomorrow we will rest. Trust me, we will rest. We love being with them but we are pretty long in the tooth to play with two girls all day long.
