On April 21st we went to This Is The Place State Park with some friends from our ward. There are only 2 four-year-
olds in our ward, but there are so many 2 year-
olds that they had to divide the nursery in half this year. Since it's still Gwen's spring break, the three of us (Gwen, Emily and me) went and had a fun morning out together while Daddy had a much needed break. The best part of the day for Gwen was getting to bottle-feed the lambs. If you can't have a baby sister named Rapunzel at least you can give a bottle to a baby sheep that you call Rapunzel.
They have a bunch of baby animals right now at the park. The kids got to write down names for the baby animals. Gwen wanted to name all the girl animals Rapunzel. There were tubs full of baby chicks that we could hold or even buy - 6 for $3! Sometimes I'm glad that Gwen can't read yet. Gwen and Emily's favorite part was riding the ponies, which they did three times in a row.
Gwen finally got up enough courage to hold a baby rabbit all by herself. Emily went around saying "
awwww, toot" which means "
awwww, cute" to all the babies.
They had fun playing in a kid size barn and house. Even though it was sunny, it was really cold outside.
They showed all their church friends how to do "bum-bumps" down the stairs.
They got all the kids to roll down the hills and even got goose poop on their clothes. Gwen fell out of the train that goes around the park and almost got run over. She stood up just as we hit a bump and out she went and landed on her back right by the tires. She jumped right up and started running after us screaming "Mommy!" I had Emily next to me but leaped out of that train without even thinking. Luckily, Emily stayed put and Gwen was just fine. It was actually terrifying for her and for me. We didn't go on the train again after that.
Emily tried to ride these baby lambs. Then she tried to carry the lambs. Then she gave up on the lambs and tried to fall into the little stream that runs through the petting area.
The lambs were so "toot".
Emily's favorite pony was named "Honey". She named all her ponies at home Honey when we got back.
We spent hours holding each chick for a minute then putting it back. Gwen never got brave enough to hold a chick. She did pet them though.

Sounds like fun! You know, except for the Gwen almost getting run over by the train part. What "toot" little baby animals!
