Field Trip to the Deer Farm

We went to the Smokey Mountain Deer Farm the other day, and had a lot of fun. Most of the animals could be fed by hand. Zac would tell you that the camel was very slobbery! He liked all the animals so much, he can't decide his favorite. I think the peacocks were my favorite.

Seth was a little bit timid about the hand to mouth contact, but he enjoyed watching. He liked the Emu best, because it would eat from a cup.

Emma, who has been an animal lover practically since birth, was not timid about anything. She learned all kinds of new words, including zonkey. Did you know that there is such an animal? That's right: it's a cross between a zebra and a donkey.

There was also a guanaco, which is apparently related to a llama. Zac and Seth threw it some corn and said, "Eat your food, Tina!" I wonder if the guanaco would have preferred casserole.
