After walking to the animal pavilion (we promised it would be first) the kids spent our first half hour playing with the chicks. They LOVED it. Jack was old enough this year to really enjoy everything. We were finally able to pry them away, Jack kicking and screaming like I was a kidnapper, to go to the petting zoo. Another big hit.

You can see that Emma understands animals and their need to be spoken to nicely.
Jack thinks that his message would better reach the animals through a very loud, high pitched shriek. Which he did over and over. To every animal.
