Labor Day Weekend

My internet has been down over the last week. I've felt so out of the loop, no cable or internet what's a girl to do?

We headed to Southern Ontario for a great long weekend. Saturday after we spent the day in the car (long story and really boring so I'll spare you) we made it to my Dads 60th birthday party. We found out that the bambinos love a live band. Ethan had a grin from ear to ear and they both danced the evening away.
Since we were in the area we had to make a visit to my friend Mel's. We took the kids to the zoo for the first time. It was the Brantford zoo so not to big or busy perfect for our little group . Our first stop was goats which we were aloud to pet and feed. First the goat (lets call him Steve) thought that a nice light snack of shorts would be good.......
Then Steve not finding the shorts satisfactory proceeded to sample Ethan's shirt sending him into a panic (he really likes his shirts).
After about 5 mins of being in the petting zoo Ava became aware of the goats around her. This didn't bode well for her noticing the animals in cages not eating her shorts.



The only other animals Ava payed any attention to were the bunnies, and even then there was a really interesting lock on their cage.

After his run in with Steve Ethan made a deal with the reindeer. He would only feed her grain if she stayed away from his shirt.
Ava enjoyed the zoo even if she would not look at any of the animals, a nice walk and some play equipment made it a worth while trip.


I hope you all had a great labor day!
