Trip to the Arboretum

We made a trip to the Arboretum today to play outside before it gets really hot. They were having a Peter Rabbit themed exhibit, and Peter rabbit himself was there to greet the kiddos. Ryland was very leery at first, but he quickly came around. He was giving Peter Rabbit five and would not stop walking over to him.

After a picnic lunch, we headed over the a little animal petting zoo. Of course Ryland went crazy. He was petting and trying to stick his finger up this guy's nose.
Here comes trouble animals! These 3 are crazy. Ryland, Harker, and Jackson decided to try and free the animals by yanking on the fence.
Ryland and Harker have made a new friend. This little goat was a little aggressive with the others. I saw him try to head butt the other goats. He was as sweet as could be with the kids. Maybe he knew they would head butt him back if he tried anything crazy.
OK, enough. We have to go finish looking around.
At this point Ryland has decided he is done riding in the stroller. He is fussy, and I can tell he has a fever.
Sweet boy checking out the water fall wall. Mesmerized.

Jackson and Ryland are scheming on how to get in the water.
We had a great time playing and exploring the Arboretum. It is getting a little hot out to stay very long, but we will definitely go back.
