My First Petting Zoo

Caroline's friend Ainsley (daughter of my college roommate, Leslie) had her first birthday party the Saturday before Easter. Ainsley had a petting zoo come to her house, but nobody anticipated that it would snow the day before Easter -- requiring the pen to be set up in the garage instead of the backyard. But everyone had a great time anyway! Caroline talked about the "animals" for days before the party, but when she actually got into the pen with them, she was a little skittish. But she came around, and by the end it was hard to get her to leave. Given the choice between the animals and a cupcake, though, she chose the cupcake. She's our daughter for sure.

Bunny!

Chicks!

Goat!

Here's a picture just to show a full-length of her dress that Granny Ruth got her for Christmas. It is sooo cute.
