Keepin Busy

Friday, we headed to the zoo for members only night. I just can't say enough about the Milwaukee zoo. It is the nicest zoo I have ever been to. Because it was the evening time, and the temperature was a little cooler, the animals were so active. The way they have the zoo set up we were able to get really close to the animals. It was neat. Then, Saturday morning, we took Carter to the Family Farm a few miles away from our house. It was a little muddy but, so worth going. We took a hayride, fed the animals including lamas, sheep, cows, pigs, chickens etc. Carter especially got a kick out of tossing corn to the chickens. The owner of the farm was nice enough to see how interested Carter was in the pigs, and offered to feed the pigs so Carter could watch how they ate. It was so funny to see the pigs fight over the food. In fact, they got so loud and rude that Carter was getting a little angry with them. After a few hours, Carter had his fill of animals so we headed home to give him a rest before heading to the Port Washington Fish fry. Grandma came up and went along. Of course, she did what she claims all Grandmas do and that is spoil him rotten. She made sure he went on just about every ride and even brought him homemade apple pie for dessert when we got home. Carter is growing up so fast. This was the first time he was able to ride any rides alone and not mind that we were watching from a few feet away. Oh and, notice the big boy hat that Carter is wearing. He has graduated from the sun hat to the big boy hat at Nonna's request. I guess it was time to let it go.
