A Visit to "Peacock House"

We took advantage of the unseasonably nice weather Sunday to visit one of Robert's favorite places: the "Peacock House."

He was particularly excited to feed the goats this visit, which he found hilarious.





Baby Claire, as usual, was unimpressed.
Robert took pictures, but he then deleted them in the car on the way home.

Robert and Daddy obviously had a good time.
Here is Claire, posing with the peacocks. Notice how they are not eating her feet.
Sometimes I think Robert belongs in a cage:
Claire's reaction to the animals:
Robert thought the owl looked "mean." Here he is imitating the owl's expression:
How does Robert measure up to a red-tailed hawk?

Memorial Day at the Petting Zoo

This morning, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to the Brookhaven Ecology Center and Animal Preserve... one of my favorite places to go! We fed the goats,


and we fed the ducks. I can personally attest that duck food is delicious!!

I checked out all of the animals. Here I am with a turkey. What a pair of turkeys we make!!

The peacocks were showing their feathers, which were beautiful.


Mommy and Daddy always tell me Bobo is a very sleepy animal because he is a bear. This bear was very sleepy, too.

The man that works at the preserve was playing with the bobcat, and I got to watch.



I really liked the Llamas, so I took Mommy back to see them.

A trip to the petting zoo

This weekend was actually very pleasant and warm out (unlike today!!!) so Mommy, Daddy, and I decided to go get some outdoors time at the petting zoo. They were trying to convince me that there were many kinds of animals there, but to be perfectly honest, I only saw dogs.

For instance, here are some pictures of me and Dad visiting some doggies that Daddy kept calling "goats." But I'm sure he meant to say dog.


We gave the big doggies some food, and they swarmed us!! Daddy was none to happy, but Mommy thought it was funny.


Then Mommy took me to see some small, white quacking doggies. She said they were ducks, but I was sure to correct her.



Here is a doggie with a beard...


... And a really big doggie with big ears and a lot of hair.


This doggie was named "bobcat." I loved watching him pace back and forth.


These doggies were making loud, funny noises. Mommy said they were roosters and they were crowing. But you can plainly see that they were dogs, so they must have been barking.



This animal Mommy actually called a "donkey" which is probably a kind of doggie.


I thought this dog looked particularly like a large version of Peanut. It was very funny.


Another thing that is funny is when I get to ride on Daddy's shoulders. Sometimes I like to try and lick his head.


This doggie's name is "deer." I got his attention by calling him "Dee-Dut." Well, he really looks a lot like Peanut, doesn't he???



When the sun went behind some clouds and it got cold, we went to the greenhouse and looked at the pretty flowers.


So that was our latest outing to the petting zoo. I can't wait to go again when the weather is warmer... and maybe even to the big zoo soon!
