Thalia and I took our trip to the zoo today. I was worried we wouldn't make it this trip because it has been raining...and raining...and raining... and it's been C-O-L-D! This morning, it was cold - 37 degrees - but started to warm up to 40...and it wasn't raining.
When we got to the zoo, we walked directly to the petting barnyard...Thalia's favorite.
There were goats, sheep, and chickens out in the petting part...
Thalia loves them all, and they all love her!
She petted...and talked to them...
This goat in particular, was in love with Thalia! He kept nuzzling up to her...
giving her kisses...on the cheek, of course!
She told me later that..well, that the goat had some pretty bad breath!
Sometimes she would squat down, and a whole slew of animals would come to her...
The kisses on her ear made her laugh!
This was the sign in the barnyard...at the entrance to where the animals could go inside...no humans allowed through that gate!
This was Thalia's absolute favorite...and like I said, he was crazy about her!
Thalia sat with him/her (?) for 2 hours...she told me she loved to look in his eye!
We were actually in the petting barnyard for over 3 hours...but for 2 hours, Thalia sat with that goat!
This one was making us laugh as he chewed his cud...and chewed...and chewed...and...you get the picture!
The ground was wet from all the rain...but Thalia found a dry spot where this goat was hanging out...this is where the two of them sat...and talked...and hugged on each other...
Look at them both laugh!
Here's a picture of half of the barnyard...
Thalia was sad to have to say good-bye to her buddy...
Before we left, we went and found THE wheelbarrow...where I've taken several photos of her through the years...Our little zoo...we just love it!

Thalia is growing up to be a gorgeous young lady! WOW!
Thalia looks so much like Erica in these pictures! She is gorgeous, and so is her friend the rectangular eyed creature. Laner
The picture of the sheep's eye is crazy!
