Columbus Day

Sophie had off from school today so I took her to the zoo this morning. This is the third time that she's been and she was definitely more into it this time than the others. She knew most of the animals and the sounds they make - although she was getting the sheep and goats confused.

We went to the petting zoo area where she got to brush a goat. I'm happy to report she was much more careful with the goat than she is with Benson. 

She also went for her first pony ride and loved it! It's tough to get such a good smile out of this kid. Riding lessons in her future perhaps?
