Trip to the Zoo

So in between football games, we met the Rotmans for a trip to Lazy 5 ranch.  Laura really wanted to see how Carter would react getting closer to the animals compared to just pointing at all the dogs on a walk.

So, we hopped into the wagons with a couple buckets of food and headed off on the tour.

The animals would come straight up to the wagon to get a handful of food.

I am demonstrating to Carter how to feed the cow, by holding the food above it's mouth and dropping it in.

Carter's approach was a bit more direct.  When the animal opened it's mouth, Carter stuck his whole hand in the the animal's mouth to make sure not a single piece was wasted.

Watching all the animals very closely.

After the wagon trip, there was a pen of goats and sheep that we got to feed up very close.  Avery and Anna were great in showing Carter how to feed them.

The girls also had a great time, but it was all hands on deck to keep Carter from jumping out of the wagon.
