Prairie Farm

Several weeks ago we spent an afternoon with the animals at the petting zoo down the street. Prairie Farm is part of the great park district we have here. Thanks to our property taxes, it's free! Eliza was a little timid about petting the animals at first, especially the goats who kept trying to eat her shirt (and my shoelaces).





She was a little braver the second time around.





We went with some friends, which always makes it more fun. Here is Eliza with her three buddies checking out the peacock strutting his stuff.



Of course the little playground is as much fun as the animals!



Mike was sad that we went without him, so we went back for Family Home Evening last week.



The poor rabbits were so hot!



Don't let their coloring confuse you. They are sheep. I kept telling Eliza that they were baby cows and some stranger pointed to the sign and filled me in. How embarrassing!

You look great, Stephanie! Eliza's getting sooo big! I'm particularly jealous of the length of her hair. We're still waiting...patiently...very patiently.

Yay, Stephanie!! I think it is actually going to let me post a comment! I guess because I am on a different computer! But I have LOVED your posts for the last couple of months. I especially love the Turner family pictures. Eliza is so adorable, I am so sorry that we won't get to see you guys while you're in Mesa! I love the picture of Eliza and her little friends looking at the peacock. They are all the same size! CUTE!!
