Harms' Cabin Vacation: August 11th - 14th, 2008 continued...
On our second day at the cabin it was very overcast and a bit rainy out. It certainly was too cold for swimming or boating (although we did go fishing later that evening). Roger suggested that we try a petting zoo that he had heard about in Hayward. What a perfect spot for us to go! We were there about 2 hours which was just enough time for Eleanor to see tons of animals and explore the old-western town!
This was the petting zoo portion of Wilderness Walk. They had lambs, rabbits, hamsters, ferets, etc.
This was an area that was covered with deer. Some of the deer were friendly enough to come outside the pen and get their treats. Eleanor seemed totally unaware that they could have bitten her head off! :)
This sign was on several of the larger animals cages...that made Michael a bit nervous! Other animals not pictured were: cows, roosters (those seemed to be a favorite!), peacocks, goats and even a Siberian tiger.
These were some of the baby goats that were just roaming free. They loved to get treats and at one point one of them got some of Eleanor's hair - tasty!
Next we headed into the old-western looking town. It looked like an old main street with a jail, store fronts, etc. These little swings were made out of tires!
Michael & Eleanor got into a bit of trouble in town.
As you can see - they couldn't talk their way out of this one! :)

She tried a carousel horse...
Got into a covered wagon...
Explored a teepee...
And tried to climb a somewhat treacherous (and steep!) bridge.
Our little baby goat had a wonderful time. She promptly fell asleep on the way home and proceeded to take a 3-hour + nap. It was a wonderful family activity!
