Thanksgiving Point 'looking' Zoo

My brother and his wife invited us to go to the Thanksgiving Point petting zoo with them yesterday. Even though I knew Kaia would refuse to pet any of the animals, I knew she would have a good time hanging out with her cousin. Needless to say she wouldn't get close to the animals, and would just watch her cousin Malina feed them. Then before we were leaving we got in line for a pony ride. I was prepping her to actually SIT on the animal. She was so excited
about it, and enjoyed watching all the kids with their big smiles ride...but once she chose a horse, and I went to put her on it, she threw a fit. I tried and tried, but to no avail, we ended up walking out of there without a horsey ride. I wish she would have done it, she would have loved it, but I don't want to traumatize her when it comes to animals. She's scared enough as it is....

Here are some pics from the trip. You will note there were no animals involved in the photography of this trip...Kaia wouldn't get close enough to one for me to take any pics.
