Petting Zoo

This past weekend was the annual birthday festival to celebrate Granbury's name sake. There were the usual small town festival offerings including:
a parade, arts & crafts booths around the square, BBQ cook off and even a petting zoo! Saturday afternoon we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and let Ethan check out some of fun.

As we approached the petting zoo I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but as soon as we walked up he started pointing and calling out animal names. He marched straight up to the gate and right on in.

He was a BIG fan!


This horse was just his size. He was trying to figure out how he could ride him.




Checking out the little piglet.



He was finally able to catch up to one of the chickens he was chasing around the pen.


As Ethan begins to talk more and more he loves to name off animals in books and as we drive down the road, and he enjoys telling us what each of them "says". He loved seeing these animals up close and having the hands on experience!
