All Talk

Emily and I have been enjoying the nice weather this week!  We went to Woodlake Nature Center in Richfield, the MN Zoo and have been having lots of fun with the water table in the backyard.

At the MN Zoo, we got to the farm area where they have a pen area with goats.  You can go inside and pet and feed them if you want.  The whole walk up to the pen Emily was repeating "goat" and saying "Baaa".  She was so excited to see the goats.  She is all talk, however.  When we got in to the pen to pet the goats all she would do was lean way over and barely touch one before running away.  When goats walked toward her, she quickly turned and came running to her mama.  As soon as the goats were gone though she would turn and yell gibberish at them.

They also have giraffe feeding which we'll have to try next time Patrick is there with us!

We had a great morning at the zoo and even ran into the Kocur boys who we got to eat lunch with and run around with a bit.

The weather has been great...Happy summer all!
