boo's first petting zoo experience

there was a spring fair at one of the local schools in the area last Saturday. we didn't know it was on until we tried to find a parking spot for some lunch in the area.

the school was packed. there was the usual fair set up with different rides, stalls selling bric-a-brac and some food stalls too. after lunch, we thought we'd check it out because boo has never been to a spring fair. 

boo is still too young for any rides so we walked straight past them and Jim spotted a little petting zoo set up at the far corner of the school. 

we spent about twenty minutes at the petting zoo and boo got to, for the first time in his life, see and touch the goats, an alpaca, the ducks, a dairy calf, rabbits and chickens. he fed the goats and was very intrigued by the rabbits. one of the ducks pecked his little finger as he pointed at it. after that, boo kept his distance and put both his hands behind his back. i think we might have to take him to the royal Easter show next year.
