Last week while we were at the zoo with some friends, we discovered the petting zoo area. I dont know why we havent seen it before. . .somehow we have always missed it. But theres a a small area with little goats and sheep free roaming where the kids can go in and pet them. Great. Of course Emmeline loved it. She had a great time running from animal to animal having to pet them each at least twice. We did have one close encounter. The rule is that you cannot pet the animals on their heads, only on their backs. Emmeline would often go at them from behind and pet the south end of their backs. . . .if you catch my drift. Well, she was headed for one big sheep and just about upon it when the zoo keeper helper hollard "wait, get back, I think that sheep is about to pee." I grabbed Emmelines arm and got her away just in time. We saw the evidence dripping from the thick coat of wool. Not clean animals those sheep, not clean at all. But we did avert a mess and I'm sure Emmeline will go back in to give it another shot on another occasion. :)
