Day 3

Well, our last real day of camping came upon us much too quickly. After an awesome breakfast by chef Brian of eggs, bacon & sausage we headed to the park's Petting Zoo. They had a short little hay ride that we rode, then we went in and fed the animals...goats, ponies, pigs, mules and fish. They were very tame and friendly, but willing to eat lots of food. That afternoon we took a canoe out on the lake. We brought Nolan's booster seat and put it in between us and he loved it and even went swimming. I was too scared to bring the camera on the boat in case we tipped...which I almost caused us to do! The weather forecast was a little uncertain for that night, so being in a tent, Becky & Tim opted to bow out early and head home. We were sad, especially since it was our turn to cook, but we were relieved that it didn't rain and we were able to enjoy one last dinner outside (steak night!). Then the 5 of us (us & the doggies), hung out around the fire and made some s'mores! The hay ride: The petting zoo: Nolan, Brian and our "adopted" goat feeding fish. This goat followed us, particularly Nolan, everywhere--it was so funny! Brian and Nolan sitting on the canoe, after our boating adventure: I snapped this pic of the canoes and lake, but it still so tough to capture the beauty of the lake. Nolan and Daddy roasting marshmallows about 10 feet away from the fire because it was really windy and we had already had one nasty spark get Nolan. He had a blister the next day, poor little guy!!! Trying to show Nolan how to eat a S'more (he wanted to just pick them apart). Mmm, soo tasty!
