The Beehive State- Part 2 of Our Trip

Our first full day in Utah was spent exploring Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. We started off by eating lunch. E didn't quite have an appetite. Her face seemed to tell it all. It was scrunched up in disgust half the time. "What is that smell?!"

That's ok...I didn't really want her to eat that sandwich she placed on the table. She was so consumed with the smell that she missed the 3rd saying of "Keep your sandwich on your bag or napkin." Oh well.

Lunch for the boys.

We saw a baby horse that was only 1 day old!

It took a few minutes, but she finally did it. She touched the cow!

The goats were a little scary for E. They liked to jump up and get personal, begging for food.
As if they needed it...they were pretty fat goats.


Look at that face.

After watching her cousins feed the goats, she relaxed and gave it a try.
She ended up laughing at all the "silly goats."


Of course, she was shy about riding a pony, but she picked the smallest one and daddy held on beside her. That made her feel better.

The second time around. She chose a bigger horse and daddy walked beside her.

For the final rendezvous, she chose the biggest horse and Daddy watched from the sidelines.

Back home and ready to eat more yummy food.
Thanks Aunt Saucy Chocolate!

The boys finished the day with some shooting. I think this was the highlight of their day.

Stay tuned for more adventures in the Beehive State.

We are taking Evelyn to the zoo this week and I can't wait to see how she reacts to the animals. The pony ride looked very fun and that's great that E warmed up to feeding the goats. She is so cute with her curly blond hair!
