"Sunday Funday" is a longstanding tradition in our house.... :) by longstanding, I mean this is the 2nd time we have done this.
Yesterday, shortly before lunch, we loaded the kids into the car, and without telling them where we were going, we took off. The last time we did this was our ride on the Cassville Ferry. The kids love the "surprise" of not knowing where we are headed!
Our first stop was the Burger Barn for lunch. The kids loved this! Then we headed to Elgin to go to a petting zoo. This petting zoo was the last thing on our list of "things to take the kids to this summer". Keaton went here for his Kindergarten field trip and he really thought we should go back because Lola and Nash would really like it!
We arrived to find: Petting Zoo closed.
I guess after Labor Day they take out the sheep and lock it up.
The kids were bummed...but we did what anyone would do: we pet the animals through the fence! :) Of course Lola and Nash LOVED bothering the kitty that followed us around.
We hung around for awhile....there were chickens and peacocks to go and look at too.... As we were just about to leave I saw a man show up to feed the animals! (YES!!!!) We went back down to the fenced in area and watched...told him how we came to pet the animals and were a little disappointed it was closed......(boo hoo....I really wasn't whining or complaining, just chatting) Sure enough...he let us in!!!!!
The kids were ecstatic and had a blast petting the goats and pot bellied pigs!
What a great day...and hopefully the start of a fun tradition!
Sunday Funday....hopefully they will never know what to expect!
