Mouse went to a farm last Halloween and was so excited about all the animals. She wouldn't touch any of the ones in the little petting zoo area, but she was quite taken with the cow. I think the animal of the week at her school had been cows so they were the freshest in her mind.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-90713773007647493082013-06-04T19:48:13.693-07:002013-06-04T19:48:13.693-07:00We took Gage to the zoo last summer and he wasn...We took Gage to the zoo last summer and he wasn't really into it. WE did take him to a farm over Memorial Day and had more success. I think because he got to be so close to and pet most of the animals.

They do sort of look like mini-elephants, in a way! Very perceptive kid! I would totally recommend World War Z. Just started it this weekend, and am loving it. I am listening to the audio with the husband, and we both are wowed. My heart goes out to you on this Memorial weekend. I know your dad was a really special part of your life.
