On the spur of the moment (pretty much) last week we planned a trip to Pigeon Forge / Sevierville before Jeremy's vacation time ran out on November 1st. We arrived late Tuesday night and have played hard since our arrival. Yesterday we spent the day at Dollywood and today we have done several exciting things as well since Dollywood was closed. I forgot my camera yesterday for the Dollywood trip, so I'll have to elaborate on today since I have the pictures.
In all of our visits to this neck of the woods, we have never visited the little petting zoo that is a few miles down the road from where we stay. So, today we decided to pay that little place a visit. It was tucked away in a little valley and was a pretty unique little place.
Addison was hilarious. Every different animal we'd see, she'd almost be jumping up and down with excitement yelling about the various animals. Her excitement was pretty funny.
The little joint required a little "safety speech" before we could begin our visit there. There were windows in the back of the little building where you had to enter the maze of cages and fenced in areas. As the lady began her little speech, Addison spotted a huge kangaroo right outside the door. She began yelling over the lady for us to look at the kangaroo. At this point she was so excited, we could hardly contain her. She was literally jumping up and down with her nose plastered to the window on the back door. I wanted to laugh in the lady's face because Addison's reaction was so hilarious, but was able to hold it together.
There were two kangaroos, and the first one we saw seemed as excited to see Addison as she was to see him. Actually a little more excited....as he tinkled a little before we could move her away from the fence. Didn't know before we got there that kangaroos got that excited!!
It was a really fun time. We got to walk in the goat pens and the deer pens to hold and pet the animals. One of her favorite animals to talk about was the "zonkey." In case you're wondering what that is, it's a cross between a zebra and a donkey. I have the pictures to prove it. It looked like a donkey in the head and body, but had striped legs like a zebra. Talk about an identity crisis!! For some reason, she really liked the reindeer as well. I'm thinking this has something to do with someone she seems to like!! And soon, she'll be seeing him quite often as well!!

This next picture is actually right before she rode the pony standing out on the little landing where I stood to take pictures. She was watching another little girl mount the horse. I asked her if she excited, and this face was the reaction I got! Whatcha think? lol
I honestly think she would have taken "Joe" home with her if she could have. She liked him just that much. I have a feeling, we'll need to visit "Joe"once again. Well, enough of my babbling!! I'm personally having fun just watching her excitement in every new adventure. Heaven knows she has been slam full of energy.
I'll update again soon.......

Have to let Zach and Abby see Addison on the pony. That will tickle them. Will also show the pics to Ma and Pa when I go up next week. Glad you all are having a good time.
