The boys and I finally made it to Grants Farm. We've wanted to see the big horses for a long time.
 When you first get there they take you on a tram ride up to the farm. That was quite a highlight. Heath loved the "Train" While it took us through the park we saw buffalo, white tail deer, ostriches, emus, long horned cattle, and Sherwood Forrest deer (they're a lot smaller than deer found around these parts, and red rather than sandy coloured. Heath loved seeing deer that "Robbin Hood would have seen" as the tour guide man put it.

Once you get to the top of the park they kick you out (not literally) and you get to explore.

The little goats were crazy! The boys were a little scared at first, but Heath quickly warmed up to them. Houston wasn't ever too sure about 'em.

You can go inside to pet/ feed them a bottle and Heath really wanted to, but every single person that entered the fence was attacked by goats.

We watched one lady take her Heath sized kid in without holding her, and she had goats climbing all over her. She spent the whole time yelling, "Mommy!"

Since it was just me and I made the rule that we can only go inside if Daddy's there too.

Heath found some goat droppings and tried to feed them to the goats. "Their food mommy!" he was so proud. (no goats ate any poo, don't worry)

Houston LOVED the guinea pigs! He probably could have watched them jump around all afternoon.

Heath was kinda freaked out by them and watched from a distance periodically saying, "lets go mommy."

They had zebras, lemurs, camels (one of Heaths favorites), elephants, parrots, eagles, a giant turkey, and several other things im probably forgetting. After checking everything out we went to one of their free shows. "Animal Encounters"

Houston who wasn't very interested in what was going on spent the whole time walking back and forth in front of us eating snacks and making faces at the people near by. He's pretty cute!

It was a pretty fun show, they brought out lots of neat birds. Some of them did tricks, most of them flew for us.

They have little perches at the back of the seating section, so the birds would soar literally right over our heads. It was really neat to feel them go past.

After the show they turned on some really loud fun music and Houston went crazy! He was dancing up a storm. It was so fun! That little guy sure loves music.

The Eagle was Heath's favorite, and after the show he got to go check it our closer. He was pretty happy.

Then we went to the Horse stables to check out the Clydesdales.

This one's for you Uncle Sterling. Heath thought it was so cool that there was a horse that had your name.

They were getting fed so we got to hear some of them whinny. Houston growled back. They were so Big!  Heath was in horsie heaven!
