Memorial Day

For Memorial Day I took the kids to Marley Farms at Val Vista and Hunt Hwy. It is a little petting zoo at the back of someone's farm. They also board horses there. It was a nice little place to take them before it got too hot. This is a "Zonkey" and mix between a Zebra and Donkey. It looks like a Donkey head and body, with zebra stripes on the legs and a few near his neck.

This is "Nascar" the Emu
Dax feeding James the Camel. He was BIG.
Derek is petting James.
Of course, Derek found his favorite thing, a stick to poke the dirt.
There were some 6-week-old kittens, and some ducks in the feed store, which were fun. We also saw the biggest fattest pig I have ever seen. It looked like a cow with short legs. I think they said it weighed 600 lbs. WOW. The pig's name was Taco Belle.  Great place for kids.

I have never heard of this place. I'll have to take my kiddos there sometime. That zonkey is cool!
