We headed to the Natural Science Center for an afternoon out. It was such a perfect day to go - there was almost no one there! When we went into the Animal Discovery area, I think there was literally one other family wandering through the area. It was like the place was open just for me and Mookie. And the weather was gorgeous to boot.
Ellison usually isn't real keen on petting animals, only looking at them from a safe distance. But this girl just keeps coming out of her shell, I tell ya. I'm still amazed at how much more social she is this year, and how much more she's willing to try things. Now, if we could just get that to translate over to the area of food! Getting back on track, though, Ellison was actually willing to pet the miniature horses.
The fave part of the afternoon? Ellison got to feed the goats and sheep some hay for their snack time! Again, I was surprised she was willing to, but she loved it! She followed the lady's instructions so well, despite the peer pressure from the twin girls that were not listening so well.
She stayed put until every last bit of hay was fed to the animals.
