We started our day with a tour of the family farm. After the farm, we headed to the Merry go round and the train. Tiz wanted to ride the merry go round all by herself, so after one trial run where I held onto the zebra's tail only, I figured she could do it alone without falling off or freaking out. She did great, I guess she won't need me standing beside her on the merry go round anymore.
We made pennies into medals everytime we spotted one of these machines. Tiz had the machine mastered after the first time and she enjoyed playing with all her little "pennies" on our way home.
Just like last year, we had to have our picture taken by the snakes sign because we both love snakes so much, not! And just look what Tiz did next...
She rode a real pony! What a change from last year when she wouldn't have gone anywhere near a live animal let alone ride on one! She was so proud and so were we! Best $4.00 we ever spent.
After the pony ride Tiz enjoyed a Sponge Bob popsicle with gum ball eyes.
We ended our day in the goat yard where again Tiz loved touching the goats. She actually wanted to take this little guy home with her.
After our day at the zoo, we headed over to Alissa and Nathan's for dinner. John and I relaxed after our long day while Lis and Cheddah entertained Tiz. Here is the cute outfit that Alissa threw together for her. She wore it home and thinks it would be a nice Christmas outfit! John and I had so much fun and we cannot wait until our zoo trip next year. We already decided we would take a camel ride.

It was a good day, even with the extra trek to and from the car for the lunch! It is always a treat to spend time with our little sweetheart. Thanks for planning it, as usual.
Last time I was at the MKE zoo we ate our picnic in the parking lot because we couldn't find the tables. I did enjoy the train but it looks like Tiz had an even cooler time with the pony ride. Such wonderful times with her wonderful grandparents!
