Grant's Farm and Free Slurpees

Saturday Dave, Kaitlynn, Toni and I went to Grant's Farm. We saw lots of animals on the tram ride.
These donkeys were so close to the tram, I could hardly take a picture of them.

After we got off the tram ride, as we were heading to the goat pen, it started sprinkling. It didn't seem too bad, but as I reached for my wallet to get money out to buy a bottle of milk (so Kaitlynn could feed the goats), it started to become more than a sprinkle. We took cover by the gift shop and restrooms. The rain slowed down, so Dave bought a bottle of milk.

The sprinkling started again as soon as Kaitlynn finished feeding the goats through the fence.

We were surprised that the goats were taking cover from the rain.

It starting pouring, so we had to take cover between the gift shop and restroom again. All the times, we have been to Grant's Farm the last 2 years and this is the first time we have been rained on.

After the rain slowed down, we headed to the Animal Encounter Show. The show was canceled due to the rain, but they brought out 5 animals for everyone to pet, after the rain stopped.

Kaitlynn pet a rat,

a possum,

an iguana,

a cockatoo and a snake. She pet the snake a few times.

They also brought an owl out, but you were not able to pet it.
Kaitlynn chose to sit on Toni's lap instead of in the stroller.
Kaitlynn took this picture of this tortoise.

The flamingos were fighting. Of course, as soon as I got the camera out, they stopped.
African Elephant
Kaitlynn kept saying "pony ride" because she said she wanted to ride the pony.

We went to the Beer Garden and had lunch. Kaitlynn made some wishes by throwing coins in the fountain.

We finished our visit at the stables watching the Clydesdales.

Then we took advantage of 7-11's free Slurpee deal. Kaitlynn enjoyed her Wild Cherry Slurpee.

Kaitlynn and I went to MawMaw's and did some grocery shopping. We met up with Dave later and went to dinner.

Happy 4th of July

Saturday morning Dave, Kaitlynn, MawMaw and I went to Denny's for a late breakfast. Then we went to MawMaw Tommie's.

This tricycle was my younger brother's. I can't believe it's still around. It's over 20 years old.

MawMaw Tommie lives in the country. They have goats, cats, dogs, chickens, hens, and a rooster along with a lot of land.

Johanna, Brandon and Amy decided to get into the birds' pen.

Amy caught the rooster.

Johanna caught one of the hens.

Then Kaitlynn decided that she was getting in with them. Yuck!!

Time to chase goats!

Kaitlynn had so much fun running around. She didn't want to leave the goats' pen.

Maribeth, Brayden and Kaitlynn throwing snaps or pops (whatever they are called) on the ground. Kaitlynn actually picked one up and popped it between her fingers.

Angie helping Kaitlynn with a pop.

We had to move into the garage because it started sprinkling.

Kaitlynn liked sitting on the John Deere tractor.

Bubble Time - We brought 4 small bottles of "4th of July Bubbles" for Brayden and Kaitlynn to play with.

Kaitlynn loved 4 wheeling with Maribeth.

We couldn't get Kaitlynn off the 4 wheeler, so everyone just kept riding her around.

We had a great time at MawMaw Tommie's - lots of food, drinks, fun, fireworks, 4 wheeling and guns. Dave and I checked out my cousin's guns. Dave even shot one, but that's just too much power for me. Even though it rained a little, we still got to shoot off fireworks and had a great time.
