Family bonding

















Lennox finally appears to be warming up to his cousin, Jamison. Their most recent get-together last week was full of fun, with a trip to the petting zoo and some climbing on the playground afterward.


We learned 2 things on this outing that we would like to share:

1. If you want a goat to eat your shoelaces, head to Centennial Park in Champaign. Those are the most aggressive goats I have ever encountered at a petting zoo. I had to wrestle Lennox's shirt and my shorts and shoelaces out of their mouths.

2. Try to avoid McDonald's play lands if at all possible. After the park we stopped by a McD's for a drink. I reluctantly let Lennox charge into the play area, but when I had to go in after him, I found out just how dirty it is in there. Yuck. If you do go there, hand sanitizer is a must afterward.

good to know about the petting zoo! we were there about a month ago (without closed-toe shoes...a no-no per rules!), and then at the wrong time this past weekend! sounds like an exciting time!

p.s...when grandpa asked theo what he saw at the farms, he said...padlocks and doors! we went from place to place checking them out, shaking them, and asking mama to open it! pretty funny.
