Petting Zoo Day

Oh my, I wish you could see how rough Mom and I look.  Today we had the petting zoo for the local summer reading program.  When Mom called and confirmed everything Monday we were told that the most kids they had this summer was 109 but that 119 were enrolled in the program.  We were prepared for 120 and got over 135.  That is just the kids.  We lost count of the adults at about 45.  At one point people driving by were stopping their cars and turning around to come see everything.  I was hot and we were only suppose to have two groups of kids.  One at 10am and one at 1pm.  We ended up staying all day and finally Mom had to tell people that the animals had to go home due to the heat.  We didn't get every torn down until after 3pm and the last load of stuff home until 4.  It was a long, hot day and we didn't even get to eat our lunch without people coming to see the animals.  The local newspaper even showed up ... We took a few pens, add in a few animals and what we got was a large crowd ... Kids and adults alike loved it and we didn't hear not one bad thing about our petting zoo
