Some of Matt's family came to visit this past weekend. On Friday afternoon, we took a trip to Ladd Farm & met part of my family for some fall fun! They have the largest petting zoo in Tennessee (or at least that's what their website said!)
Here are some of the furry friends....
While going through the petting zoo, we had little baggies of food for the animals. So, they were VERY friendly and would nose around to see if you'd feed them. This Alpaca was super friendly & was nibbling on our hair. Dad is in the picture because he said, "Here! I'll hold it's neck so it can't get you!"
I'm not QUITE sure that this is "approved" Alpaca handling technique.

They had a bunch of wooden cut-outs for pictures.
I just love sweet Sadie in this one!
They had a big slide that was all greased up and you slid down on potato sacks. This video is of me and Linz sliding... I have another one of Linz, Mom, and Sadie, but for some reason it won't work! I will have to figure that out because mom screams the whole way down and I love it! :)
We did the corn maze with Matt's family. Here's a shot of our new family of 3 :)Houston wasn't much help in the maze... I guess it's kind of hard to navigate while riding backwards (& asleep)... maybe next year!
Matt and Houston feeding the goats. Some of them were fainting goats! (if you don't know what a fainting goat is, please look it up on YouTube immediately) But evidently, once they are older they don't faint very often. There were some baby fainting goats in the pens, but they were with ducks and the ducks kept being aggressive to get the food and we didn't get to see the babies close up! For the record, I used hand sanitizer AND washed my hands a few times each before touching Houston... I didn't want him to get "goat/alpaca/pig/duck germs"
