The Petting Zoo

The Petting Zoo came to play and learn this week. Those poor animals somehow survived the excitement of a group of 2-4 year olds pulling pigs tails, roughing up bantam hens, poking baby chicks, chasing ducks, and pulling and prodding lambs and goats. The animals may all need counselling now but the children had the best time you can imagine.

The smiles and the laughter in amongst all that so called gentle patting was magical and really brought out a new side to some of the children. As you can see Mario is being held quite firmly by Peter to prevent some over excited "patting".
Mario thought it was just awesome as he chased the ducks around and around and around and around.
Children and animals ... what a wonderful combination!! What a wonderful experience!!
