The Petting Zoo

Ahhh the Beacon Hill petting zoo... Not only a great place to pick up animal poop on the soles of your feet, but a great place to take your child and expose them to peackock mating rituals, instill in them a fear of eating Turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners (possibly the most hideously creepy prehistoric looking birds to be consumed by us), and entertain them with goats butting each other in the head as if they have horns, which I'm assuming were removed to avoid killing small children.

Today we got to see adorable baby goats like this one seen above... Siena didn't cry when it tried to jump on her and eat her jacket zipper, no, she took it all in, enjoying every second of it... "YOOK MOMMY! THIS GOAT TRYING TO EAT ME! HAHA!" and "YOOK MOMMY, THIS GOAT WANTS TO SCRATCH ME! HAHA!" You should see the one pregnant goat... It was hobbling around and looking really pissed... Just like a pregnant human. Most likely pissed because it just had to participate in the surely humiliating "goat stampede" where ten's of people watch and giggle as they all trot from their farmhouse to the fenced in goat area where they all get mauled by little kids wanting to brush their hair, whether they want to be brushed or not... I bet that goat just wanted to chill in its farmhouse, alone, and cry whilst watching "A Baby Story" snacking on a bale of hay. Sorry goat. Not today.

Then we saw the guinea pigs, which also look like shih tzu's in dire need of hair cuts. Seriously, pretty sure that one of them just sits in one spot because it cannot see anything through its long hair.

Then the Alpaca's or as Siena called them, "the Llama's", (Diego reference).. Their names you ask "Donny" and "Osmond"... Connecting to the parents one irrelevant celebrity name at a time.

We heard there were some new baby pigs to check out so off we went to peer in on them through a little window in the side of a miniature barn... There they were, three adorable, teeny, black piglets... Siena said "look mommy, awww, so tiiiiiny, the drink water after they eat..." I said "I think they drink milk..." Wait for it... "Yes they drink milk... from their mommy's BOOBIES!!!!!" and the lady next to us laughed and said "wow, she sure knows a lot! haha!" Oh if you only knew how much she knows (and remembers) about that situation.
