Reston Petting Zoo












Yesterday we went with the Vlauns to the Reston Petting Zoo. It was this great little hands on zoo where they have this huge petting barn where you get these little baby bottles full of milk and they give you grain pellets to give to all the animals. The animals just devour it out of your cup and practically attack each other to get to the cups. The boys just loved this. You had to work pretty hard to get the babies to drink the milk but Nick was so patient and just kept finding the little ones who would drink and he got all of his bottle finished off. Aidan kept getting his cups stolen because he would freak out and let go of the cup. Luckily, the animals gave them back when they were empty. They also had this safari tractor ride where you see camels and zebras and these huge 2 horned animals that looked like Texas Longhorns but they weren't. The kids had so much fun and can't wait to go back.

Looks like loads of fun! These guys are going to be farmers with all the farms they have been to this summer.
