The next best thing to the zoo

I am a little sad to say that our girls have yet to be to a zoo. The closest zoo is about 100 miles away, so that has been my excuse. That being said, we have an abundance of animals in very close proximity. We live in a small town, about 2,800 people- and no, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine living in a town this small. There are a plethora of farms here. With farms and 4-H, county fairs and such, our girls have not entirely been deprived. A few weeks ago, we went to go visit some good friends of ours in the ward who live down the street from us. Technically out of town, although they can't live more than 1/2 a mile away. They are really into 4-H and had lots of animals for the girls to see. They also had some 4 week old kittens that were adorable!
The animals we saw: Three dogs, 1 cat, 4 kittens, 3 horses, 3 pigs and a rooster, oh and plenty of cows on the car ride over!
