On Monday, April 9th, we took a family trip to the Zoo for a few "firsts". We've had our family Zoo pass for years and yet somehow Carter has NEVER been on the carousel at the Knoxville Zoo! Craziness, I know! Carter was excited to ride the carousel but he had some rules- Dad had to ride with him and Dad had to actually ride an animal. Carter was a little unsure at first... seeing as how he still remembers the carousel at Fantasy of Trees BREAKING with his cousin Owen riding it! (Side note: It was a VERY LOUD noise, the panels actually came off the center piece, fell to the ground and started being drug around!). Also, we decided while we were at the Zoo to take Camden into the petting zoo area. She's fine around our family's dogs so we didn't see much difference but as you can tell from the pictures below, she saw a HUGE difference! We hope you find them as entertaining as we do!

Everytime they went around, Carter would wave and wave and wave! Too cute!
We warmed Camden up by just letting her watch Carter brush the goat...
which scared her half to death and sent her clinging to Mommy for dear life!
Mommy gently put Camden's hand on the goat (notice the look of terror on Camden's face!).
Camden wasn't having any part of this!
She stayed hesitant of the goats the ENTIRE time in the petting zoo area which is the exact opposite of Carter! He's always loved this part of the Zoo!
