Hey everyone, I hope you know you are so very loved and adored today and every day! Yesterday was such a great day. Both of my youngest boys have a birthday this month. Julian is February 1st and Josiah's is on the 10th. I wanted to take them somewhere enjoyable but not way too expensive. I put $100 aside after doing a few photo sessions for this very occasion, and spent $80 total for a fun day. Not terrible! We went to a local petting zoo with my daughter, her husband and my grandbabies too! We all had the BEST time. Julian is a hard to please type of child, and Josiah is the easiest to please kid ever. Lol. Even Julian was so happy to be there which made my Momma heart so over joyed! A true blessing from the Lord. They had all kinds of animals of course, you could go in the enclosures and feed them/pet them, they had a bounce house, a huge swing set, a boat swing set, a snack shack, a corn pit, and puppies to play with! =) Julian's favorite part was getting to hold a baby pig, the lady that worked there called him the pig whisperer since every time he held it the pig would calm and sleep. Josiah's favorite part was the bounce house and holding baby goats. Anyway, just thought I'd share such a good and uplifting day. Do you need prayer for anything?

What a cool way to spend the day! Even as an adult I would enjoy a petting zoo. And I've never held a baby pig before, that would be awesome to do sometime.

@LovingMyBabies I would probably have more fun rolling around in the mud with the pigs than holding one! LOL

@LovingMyBabies A few years ago hubby and I went to a drive-thru safari. I got to hand feed carrots to a couple of giraffes. The big giraffe heads were inside the car, practically resting on my husband's chest. It was so cool.

@LovingMyBabies Baby pigs are no more so small when they grow up.

@Ineeddentures It truly was! I was so grateful, especially because my son in this photo is a tough cookie to make happy but even he really was at this place. Thanks so much!

@LovingMyBabies He must have had a tough time knowing what he knew, seeing what he saw, and hearing what he heard. He would have been so sad seeing his mother unhappy and abused. Kids know. They carry a hellish burden

@snowy22315 I wanted to hold one too however, they are VERY squirmy and I was scared I'd drop one not meaning to if they started squirming and scratching me. Lol.
