Balm Family Part I: Gators & Friends

Our friends, Erika, Michael, and big boy Benjamin, came to visit us this past weekend! We had so much fun together, and time just flew!! In order to show these Huskers some local flavor, we thought we would visit Gators & Friends!
By the time we arrived, both Mira and Ben were passed out! I think they enjoyed having company in the backseat all weekend. They talked and fought over toys alot. =)

Sweet Boy.

Sweet Girl.


The owner of the park was nice enough to let us borrow the wagon.


Teaming up to meet the baby gator...neither was too happy about this.


Staring contest with the llama.


Erika and Ben feeding a deer. Ben got pretty excited about this and decided he might like to pet the deer.


Mira and I feeding the goats. She kept her distance.


Ben was getting brave and tried to pet the pony all by himself!


Erika disregarded our warnings and fed the ostrich - she left with both her hands and eyes intact, so I guess we were assuming the worst about this giant bird. (I still don't plan on feeding one anytime soon.)


Mira and Ben looking for the kangaroos. Ben and I hopped like kangaroos which made him giggle, giggle, giggle.


Mira learned to use her pointer finger this weekend!
