Wahpeton Zoo Adventure

With Josh gone to Texas this week, Jax and I filled up our social calendar! On Wednesday, we went to the Wahpeton zoo with my friend Katie and her 2 little ones, McKenna and Sophie. Jaxon and McKenna are so funny to watch. On the way to Wahpeton, they fought over a blanket most of the way. Jax sat between to the 2 girls and was trying to play with baby Sophie in her carseat and pulled her blanket away. McKenna, being the protective big sister, tried to get it back for her. After we checked out the zoo, we picnicked in the park. It was a fun day, the weather was perfect for a zoo adventure. This goat helped himself to our leftover duck food, Jax's cereal puffs, and Kenna's animal crackers. The kids thought it was hilarious at how the goat would try to climb through the fence to get at their food.
We also fed donkeys. McKenna wasn't too sure about them getting close to her hand (though she had good reason, she got pecked by a duck while we were feeding those), but Jax could have cared less. He tried to stick his hand into the donkey's mouth. Repeatedly. And then would squeal and laugh. I wish this kid would develop at least a LITTLE fear. Is that too much to ask?
