A Warm, Baby Animal Day

Yesterday was FINALLY a beautiful day!!!  So we spent most of it outside.  Our "soon-to-be" neighbors, Tarasha and Taya Haslem,  invited us to go to Baby Animal Days at the American Heritage Center.  Tiffany and Matt (boyfriend) came and hung out with us.  Owen really liked seeing the animals and petting them.  Aidan didn't mind looking, but it took a lot of coaxing to convince him to touch the animals, then he'd touch them for a second.  He liked climbing up on the wood fences and then he'd point at all the different animals and say, "Puppy, ooh (moo)"  I kept telling him the different animals and sounds that we saw, but each new animal was a puppy.  It was cute.  I think he enjoyed most the ride in the wagon, pulled by the tractor.  Every time he saw the tractor, he'd point and say,"tacter, whoa".

They also had some baby turtles that fit right in the palm of their hands.  That's the only thing Aidan held in his hand.  Owen's favorite was the pony ride.  It definitely wasn't long enough, but he loved it.  There were too many people and two tired babies to stand in line again.  We'll have to find a way to get more pony rides in the future.   It was so nice to be outdoors for a few hours.  The kids were so glad to be outside.  They came home with red cheeks and tired eyes.  Even today, Sunday, was very nice.  You could actually feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.  I hope that this is the beginning of many more beautiful, warm days.
