We all know Abby is an animal lover and today was just one more chance to witness that. We had a birthday party this morning for some friends who were turning three (another set of g/b twins) and the theme was barnyard animals. They had a petting zoo, llama and even a pony to ride. The entire morning all Abby could talk about was riding that pony (Jake wanted to ride a cow). However, as soon as we arrived, she saw the petting zoo area and headed straight for that. The animal that caught her attention was not a pig, goat, bunny or even the llama, but chickens! She fell in love with those things. One of the workers showed her how to hold them and so she spent the ENTIRE party in the petting zoo holding chickens. At one point though she was throwing them up trying to get them to fly, so we had to put a stop to that quickly (although the worker said they were fine since they had wings and could "flutter" down :-).
Jake had fun feeding the goats and tried to catch a few chickens towards the end too, but his favorite was the snack table (cheese puffs!) and of course the cake. We were running a bit late to the party and got stuck in traffic. At one point he asked if the other kids would eat all the cake. We quickly assured him they would save him a piece; that boy LOVES cake!
Lily had fun too watching the animals (from the outside of the pen) and playing with her little friend Ashlyn.
