Mommy gone crazy!

Nick was out of town for two weeks straight recently, and boy was it a bit crazy around here! I was hurting for something to do with the boys outside the house that wouldn't make all of us go crazier than we already were. We arranged to go to the petting zoo and back to Ruby's Diner with a friend from work and her son. Am I crazy trying to manage things with both of them for such an out of the ordinary trip, probably! But, we had fun in the end!

Here are the boys checking out the chickens!


Karissa and Matt fed the ponies some carrots.

It was a humongous undertaking to get into the area where the goats and sheep hang out. There were wild ones running loose in the gated area. After we corralled the loose ones, we went in with our basket full of carrots. They weren't as aggressive as when Nick & I took the boys a couple of weeks ago, but they were still crazy! Here's Matt walking by an unsuspecting goat on the ramp.


It's Matt!

I told Matt that the goats were eating "Haaaay!" and he went to serve them some!



Matt's friend Van rode the hay pony while waiting for the train ride. Matt didn't feel like partaking in either. We still have the token for the train ride for our next visit.


Matt almost lifted a Tootsie Pop from the store at the petting zoo because he wanted this mystery treat so badly. Here he is after his nap that day, partaking in his Tootsie Pop. He looked at me halfway through, saying "it gonna be chocolate in there". And then, after he was on his last of two or three bites, he looked at me and said, "it grumpy" as he tried to crunch into it. He cracks me up!
