It started off really well, he loved seeing the baby chicks in the incubators and he was really excited to see the animals. He was running around, pointing at them but keeping a safe distance.
He got a little nervous when the sheep started "baaing" and he held his hands together a lot of the time (what he does when he's unsure of something).
He managed to hold it all together until we were done feeding the ducks and geese and they started making a commotion and then he lost it. He was paralyzed in fear and just stood on the ramp crying. Of course, being the good mom I am, I snapped a few pictures before we rescued him (and they are just classic!)
We went in the little farm to market room they have because the kids like to play in there and it's air conditioned!
Once we went back outside, we decided to give the pony ride a try. He did not want to get on that pony but we persisted and he did stop crying and seemed to kind of enjoy it- as long as he could continue to hold on to me with his death grip!
After the ride was over, I left him on the horse and stepped back just a bit to take a picture of him on it (I still had my hand on his leg) but while I did that, the horse "neighed" and moved a bit and it really freaked him out...he wanted off of that pony!
They had a cute little baby pony that was just Addie's size!
And a trip to the farm isn't complete without a stop at Iceberg for some ice cream!
