Holly Wild

Last week we went to Holly Wild. There are lights and animals that you feed from your car, and at the end of the route there is a bonfire and petting zoo. Marshall loved all the lights and music but hated the animals approaching our car. I hated the animals sticking their heads in the car too. The ostrich was especially scary to him, I guess he's never seen a bird that big before. He loved the petting zoo and bonfire. I think next year he might like the animals a little better, I don't think my opinion will change in a year, however.

just under the deer's mouth is our car...they were close

the boys loved the zonkey
I rolled my window up right after he licked inside the car door...way too close for comfort

Holly Wild Petting Zoo

Once we got through the craziness of the free roaming animals, we made it to the petting zoo area. Marshall was much more comfortable when the animals were behind a fence. I can't say I blame the kid. He loved wandering around and watching people feed the animals. He didn't quite get up the courage to feed the goats or deer himself. He was much more content to watch.

Jack LOVES animals and was fearless around them. I was nervous the camel was going to get a few fingers along with the food Jack was feeding him, fortunately Jack came home with all of his digits. At one point he did say, "He's a little hand eater!"






Marshall wanted to give it a try but chickened out within a few inches of the deer's mouth.

Thank you, Staci! Thank you!

They say something about revenge being sweet. I think this may be payback for all the years of treats and sweets I gave Sam and Jack.

What's Christmas without a little fun in a box?

all this excitement...

for his new shopping cart! He quickly started saying, "riye" (ride). He had a blast with his daddy being pushed around Pop and Loni's house in his new cart.
