take 5

on the hayride - not too excited yet.

Today, on what had to be the COLDEST day of the early Spring Emilia had a "date" with her friend MoMo (Morgan) at Lazy 5 Ranch, which is basically this giant, fabulous petting zoo complete with animals from birds to giraffes. It was really quite stunning. We started off our visit with a hayride where the kids could feed the different animals. Emilia hated this - she pretty much wailed whenever you tried to let go of her and had a kangaroo death grip on me the whole time. Afterwards we got to walk around the "petting" zoo part of the attraction which Emi liked a million times more. She loved waving to every single solitary animal. By the time it was all over with, I pretty much had to drag her out of there. It was a long ride but well worth it and I'm sure next time she'll love it even more.
