I absolutely loved Play Day at UMHB when I was a student, but I may have loved it more this year, since it meant that my husband didn't have any classes this Thursday and got to spend the whole day with us. We took the girls to the park for a couple of hours in the morning and then after a healthy lunch at Subway, we drove out past Copperas Cove to Topsey, TX.
There is a place out there that has exotic animals and you can drive through and feed the animals. Then there is a petting zoo at the entrance with more fun animals. We heard about it a long time ago, but finally went. It was a blast! Plus since it is spring, there were lots of little baby animals. We saw many, many baby goats, deer, antelopes, a miniature horse, and a zebra. Talk about ADORABLE!!!
If you live anywhere close to central Texas, this is worth an afternoon trip. Check out the website for more info... http://www.topseyexoticranch.com/
All but one HUNGRY goat were super gentle. They ate out of your hand and were so careful not to bite you. The one crazy goat jumped up on our door several times and scratched the paint off as he slid down. We had to contact our insurance company :( I still say to go though...still a lot of fun!
The zebras were very sweet and let you rub their noses while nuzzling you.
Maybe the cutest baby zebra ever...
I took LOTS of pictures of the babies. :)
Mommy and Lexi
The camel who ate the ENTIRE bag of food out of Eric's lap in one giant bite...He swallowed the paper bag and the food.
I loved these two.
Eric and Lilly feeding a deer.
The girls were thrilled that they could get out of their car seats and climb up front with us.
The petting zoo had tons of new baby goats. The girls warmed up quickly and pet them for at least half an hour. Lexi would tell them how soft they were and how sweet she thought they were. She just talked away and they all listened intently.
This pregnant one reminded me of myself when I was pregnant. Something about being too large to walk and the way she waddled uncomfortably while being really lop-sided...
Eric made some new friends...
My twins with some goat twins that loved us...
This is "Knock-Knock". He talked and it was super cute!
This little man was adorable...
