Petting Zoo

On the way to the official petting area they had some other animals out to pet so we were able to pet a ferret, a snake and a big spiky lizard. Chance was very brave and gentle when petting all those new animals. He is a pro at the petting zoo. He ran in through the gates while I was putting our backpack in a cubby for safe keeping (our lunch was inside). Chance went right over to one of the goats and patted him very gently on his back then he squealed and laughed and jumped up and down. He went over to another goat and patted him then did his little dance again. He did this with nearly every goat and sheep in the area(picture 1 and 2 with Haley from our group). One sheep was eating some straw and Chance just watched and watch pointing at his tongue and teeth He seemed to be amazed that the sheep had teeth just like him (picture # 3). There was one little goat that came over to me when I leaned down to get on Chance's level and started licking my arm (picture # 4). I guess he liked the taste of sunscreen because he licked and licked my whole arm. Chance thought it was very funny. He probably would have stayed in the petty zoo area for a while longer but it was getting warm and late so we walked around to see the monkeys and then before we got out the gate Chance climbed on the dinosaur in the last picture. They have a dinosaur exhibit starting on the 14th of this month so we will have to come back and see what that is all about. It shouldn't be a problem since both Chance and I really like the zoo.
