So, the second reason that the San Antonio Zoo rocked our socks off the other weekend is this. Wait for it.
It has a petting zoo.
Yes, I am aware that lots of zoos have petting zoos, but this one was great. They have a variety of goats and pigs for the kids to pet. They have a zoo employee (who is good with children, natch) there to make sure everyone shares, plays nicely, etc. They have brushes for the kids to use as they get all lovey with the animals.
Did Jack like it? Pshaw.

Minds were blown. Pretty sure it was just normal business for the pigs, but they made Jack feel special.

| Hey Pig, how's it going? How's your mom? |
 |
| Me: Jack, can I have a smile? Jack: Nooo. I am petting a pig. |
Jack's love of goats is well documented. And the goats were a big hit, yet again.
Hope your day is goat-a-riffic. And that you wash your hands after.

Gah! He look like he wants to ride that pig. He seems to be asking you with his eyes - if he can take the goat home. Love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteThat's Ava's favorite part of the Houston Zoo. She pets/brushes each goat at least once. We don't have piggies, though. Boo on that.
