Every fall, Banker's Orchard, near (or possibly in) Plattsburgh has a petting zoo and hay rides and pumpkin patch and a terrible Michigan stand. Or maybe I'm just not a fan of Michigan's as I think that's the only one I've ever had. Anyhow, here's Connor with a Llama. I think this was the one that kept "talking" in a really creepy "I'm a human who's fallen down and broken my hip" sort of way.
Here's Ethan feeding the Llamas. This really is a cool petting zoo, but in this same pen, with the Llamas (actually, maybe these are Alpacas. I wouldn't know) were two deformed looking pigs. I don't think they were the normal, run of the mill farm pigs that give us delicious bacon. I think they were mutated Harkonnen pigs.
There was also a pen full of goats that were either kids, pygmies, or both (there was also a bird/rabbit pen, and some donkeys, and a big goat with Llama life partner pen). There was a ton of the little goats, but these two little bastards kept fighting with each other. I wanted to get a better picture or some video, but someone's unhousebroken rugrats kept pushing me aside. They nearly let the goats out with there shenanigans. What happened to the days when you could give someone else's kids a good yelling at without fear of someone getting all ACLU on you?
I think I caught this Jake in a wistful or plaintive mood. Either way, I bet that in another month, he's going to be delicious!
This goose kept attacking me. Try as might, though, I couldn't get a picture off just as he gave the camera a wack. I'll be he's going to be tasty come Christmas!
Mmmm. Delicious animals.
Cindy cut her hair - it looks adorable. It was a necessity, as Desmond attempted babycide via hair noose one morning, but I think it's a nice look. I took this picture because Desmond and wife looked cute, and then everyone else gathered around, so here's the fam' in all of there a glory. You're welcome.
