Yesterday Eli and I went to the Sunrise Petting Zoo in Waterloo. It was a nice place, free to get in...you just have to buy any food you want to feed to the animals and they do have a donation box. Eli really liked the goats and the little chickens. They've got goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, chicks, a turkey, a pig/hog, miniature horses, donkeys, emu's and I'm not really sure what else. Not all of the animals were in petting areas, but most of them were.
The funniest thing happened when Eli and I were feeding the chicks and one of the donkeys let out a long, loud bray. It scared Eli so badly that he jumped and started to cry, but once I showed him it was just the donkey "talking" then he was okay, but he did stay close to me until the donkey was done.
Then last night Morgan got home from taking the Iowa Bar Exam. The test was from Monday to Wednesday in Des Moines. He got to stay in Ames with Pete and Emily which was great for us. Now we have to wait until September 12th to get the scores and he will be sworn in on the 19th of September. So now we play the waiting game - waiting for scores and waiting for baby.
