When your zoo kids say "I don't want to leave! ...and this was the best day ever " ...how blessed is that 🙏?

I just finished three amazing gigs today and Charlie decided to climb to the highest limb 🫢 fortunately, my last Zoo guest had some strong muscles to pull that limb down so I could reach her ! The little girl said " excuse me, but you have a problem, and you need a ladder " 😝 kids are the best

Soooo I adopted a goat. Her name is violet. She was pregnant. She delivered 2 adorable babies ! Meet Razz Beret (Prince theme ) and Prince Pringle (because you can't just have one ) thank you Wes and Michelle for helping with the rehoming 🙏

🤣 best message of the day (a small child who can obviously operate a phone ) "um excuse me , but I am wondering if you have any baby monkeys to adopt " ....that just made my day. I'm saving that voicemail

I had the best sessions this weekend 🙏 this is an 80 yr old grandma who had the best day and sheep snuggles (favorite pic of the weekend) also had a 7 yr old birthday party and a family group.

I don't normally do weekday sessions , but the sweetest teen from Michigan was here visiting her dad (who was working ) and she was in charge of the entertainment and was such a polite young lady "I know you are a nurse and you don't do weekdays but I have learned in my short life that you don't get things if you don't ask for them ". She is right. We should encourage our young to ask - politely (like she did ) ...so ...I hosted a sunset session 😗

Wonderful birthday zoo gig today - thank you for your donation to the animals 🙏 the guests were so adorable - I had as much fun as they did ! Huge thank you to my husband and Wes Lee for working on the barn pens ! My animals were smiling upon my return

The rabbits hosted a baby shower "Peter Rabbit" theme yesterday. Thank you Michelle Lee for helping me . The babies were the stars of the show and entertained the guests ☺️ great decorations!

This little snuggle bunny was rehomed last night. The sweetest, happiest little girl told me "it was the best day of her life ". Melted my heart. Dwarf Lionheads are SO sweet ☺️

I had my zoo gigs cancel today , but new zoo guest, Amity, weathered the mud and rain to come out and help muck stalls ! She was outsmarting Charlie and Charlie had door duty and would not let alpacas and goats out 😂.

Blessed to have had a mom who just finished chemo. She brought her hubby and kids to the zoo 🙏 her first outing since cancer. We have been planning this date since Aug - love sharing celebrations with the animals ☺️ meet our new addition- Rudy the African Grey. I am honored that Jina Lis chose me for his forever home 🙏 he had as much fun as the humans

Baby Lionhead's ! Just in time for the birthday bash this weekend 🫣 you know who you are 🫢

11/20/2023

Had an amazing birthday celebration today. Kids are the best. Favorite kid saying "you are my favorite person " 😍 my heart gushes when kids enjoy these animals. Simeon is such a love and when he is done ...he's done...literally passes out for a quick nap 😆. He was in lots of selfies today as was Mr slitherin and the rabbits. We finished the party with a sing / dance jam - disclaimer I might have gotten the girls a wee bit hyped up with "dance monkey " - Charlie danced too

Super fun birthday 🥳 thank you for spending it with us

Great zoo day today ! This little guy p**ped the biggest p**p and all of the kids wanted a picture of it 😂 children cried and didn't want to leave the cozy barn ...my heart smiled a lot today. First group was friends / godparents. Second group was an autistic adult and parents from Elk Grove. While I was leaving ..a car pulled in as his 8 yr old found me on Google and gave his dad directions to my zoo 😂 I couldn't say no to that surprise gig !

Simeon gets so excited when I get to the barn

Simeon loves to kick up his heels at free time ☺️

10/23/2023

Cozy petting zoo day with rain pouring down on the tin roof - what a beautiful sound 🙏 blessed for the groups today. The second group was a return group - that makes my heart happy . They brought new friends with them for a play date today. Rainy day ? Come out and play ☺️ 🌧️ 🐐 🐽 🐑 🐤 Simeon frolicked in his first rain. His coat is like a sponge !

Super fun birthday party ! Favorite kid questions " how many pounds can a tortoise shell hold ?"(quickly followed with a tortoise express pose below 😆). "Do snakes blink ? (No, but watching him stare as long as possible was adorable ) and "do snakes have bones ?" (Yes and I had to prove it with a google X-ray ). Final comment that melted my heart " this is the best day of my life " Kids are the best 🙌
