Saturday was such a gorgeous day and we found the Turkey Creek Festival off of Antioch to be a spectacular way to spend it. While getting Bailey ready, we kept promising her goats. We'd say, "do you want to see the goats?" While driving, we'd also bribe her with the same phrase. Maybe she had no idea what goats are, I'm not sure, but it was enough to keep her interested. And why goats? Because we knew that this particular festival has a petting zoo, at least it did when we went (still pregnant with her) and we were banking on them having it again.
Luckily, we were right and they indeed had goats, as well as donkeys, cows, sheep, a camel, a llama, a turtle, a giant bunny, lemurs, and MONKEYS! The monkeys were just so funny and Bailey wanted to go pet them badly (but they're only for show). The animals were full from all of their other hand feedings, but Bailey didn't mind just sprinkling the feed around in their cages.
Something else of interest for our little dear were the pony rides! Bailey was so excited to meet the ponies. We waited in line for a while with the sincerest promise that she could ride a "horse," and when her turn finally came, she was uncontrollable with delight. She could ride it all by herself and never let it go! Of course, Daddy was right there to catch her, but she was so enthralled by the experience. This was truly a dream come true for her. A REAL horse to ride instead of a German Shepherd!
And one more thing to add, while uploading the pictures for this entry, Bailey said kangaroo!
