Animals, Grasshoppers and Ice Cream

We had a pretty good week on Thursday Mabel has a wild animal day at preschool. She loved it!   She was not afraid of any of the animals and wanted to get right up front with all of them. The minute the animal lady pulled this bird out of it's cage Mabel's hand shot up before she even asked if anyone wanted to hold it.  It cracked me up.

 Petting the cockatoo
This pig was super cute and little. Her name was Ms. Piggy.
 Mabel petting a Flemish Giant.  This thing was huge!!
 Seriously.  Lewis could have ridden it!

 Lewis is still not sure about the Flemish Giant.

After school that day we went to Thanksgiving Point to see more animals!  Doug's sister's family just got a membership there and their guest get half price so we told them to let us know when they go and they did!
The main reason we went was so that Mabel could finally ride a horse.  She's only been asking about once a day since January to do this.  So glad the time finally came! Lewis checking out the ponies.
 So excited (contrary to the look on her face).
This peacock was putting on a show.  It was quite the site!
 These little goats were so cute and so tiny!
 Lewis checking out the goats.
This poor pregnant goat was huge!  It made us wonder how many babies were in there.

Yesterday we went to see Lilly perform in Hansel and Gretel.  She was a grasshopper and did great.
 Love our little performer!
After the show we went and got some ice cream.  Lewis sure enjoyed it and wasn't afraid to help himself.
 Sure love this boy!
