My parents came to visit last weekend, and we had a great time! They got to see Drew play t-ball and we went to Fuel Pizza again afterwards. This time Drew ate TWO slices of pizza!! Then later Saturday evening, we walked around Birkdale and saw some jugglers. Then we went to Bruester's ice cream...the kids' new favorite place!
Yum yum!! (the kids both picked out sunglasses when we went to Concord Mills - Drew got camo ones!)
Here's my parents with the kids.
Then on Sunday we went to the Lazy 5 Ranch on a wagon ride to see all the animals. When our wagon first took off, several ostriches reached right over people and started taking all the food - the lady started screaming and everybody jumped to the other side of the wagon...and Emma started crying! It was all pretty funny and a little scary - I was worried that Emma was gonna hate the whole thing. But once we got moving again, she grabbed some food and was ready to feed anything!
We were the first ones on the wagon, so we were right up front by the guide so he told us all kinds of stories.
These nasty animals roll around in manure to cool off. They came right up to the wagon and luckily didn't start shaking or whipping their tails around! YUCK!
The giraffes are so cool! Here's my mom feeding the giraffe.
And Emma fed them!
And right before the wagon took off again, Drew got to feed them!
We were told to just drop the food on their tongues...haha!
Uh oh, running out of food!
Emma really liked stuffing food into the goats' mouths!
Drew wasn't too sure about it!
But he eventually did it!
This guy was a little scary (long horn). We were told not to feed him, but the people in the back of the wagon didn't hear that. They started feeding him and petting him, and he started reaching his head into the back of the wagon to eat the food off the floor - glad he didn't jump up there with us! And notice the llama getting ready to reach his head in the car behind us! I definitely DO NOT recommend taking your own car through!
I'm so glad we got to do some fun stuff while my parents were here! We'll get to see my whole family again in August when we meet up at the beach. I can't wait!!! =)
