On Friday we lost our minds again and took all three girls to Pets and Popsicles at Centennial Village in Greeley. It is a great place when you just go there to see how people lived over 150 years ago. But several times a year they do special events. This one was for kids. It was a petting zoo of sorts. We had to walk the whole village before the girls could get their popsicles. They did very well.
Daisy has never done anything like this so we were concerned she would be frightened of the animals. How wrong we were. She ran to the sheep and goats and started petting them immediately.
I missed the best pictures because I was so shocked at how she behaved. I just stood and watched her.
She tickled this goat's ears and then giggled at what it felt like.
It was so cute to watch her.
The sheep were taller than she is yet she was not afraid. One sheep and Daisy stood nose to nose and stared in each other's eyes for a long time. It was almost like they were communicating. It was really sweet. That's one picture I failed to take because I was so busy watching.
No need to comment on the horse, but the saddle was real.
Hannah is showing her rehearsed bored look.
Daisy is insecure at this point.
All in all this was a really fun time for all of us, the old adults included. And thankfully we were there before the day got really hot. Plus they have lots of huge shade trees. The downside is that we, the "older folks" did not get popsicles!
