What a super fun family day we shared together! What we thought was just a trip to the pumpkin patch turned into a full day of fun. Daddy & Mommy had the quite the surprise up their sleeves. We started at a local pumpkin patch...each picking up a pumpkin out. Then, we enjoyed an early lunch together. Then, we loaded the car thinking we were heading home...but instead, we headed to Zootastic for the day. While were there, Daddy & Mommy surprised again with an hour one-on-one time with some animals. We LOVED it! It was absolutely incredible. We had the best day together...made lots of great memories together!

Then, after lunch, to our huge surprise, we pulled up to Zootastic.
The giraffes were adorable!
We loved getting to feed them...even if we were a bit hesitant at first! 😂
Mommy's favorite was the giraffe!
** I was scared at first, but then I loved it. Giraffes are one of my favorite animals, too!
Brady loved it, too...
...and so did Brecken...
...& Averie! So cool!
Then, we headed to the barn and fed some of the barn animals. The goats were so cute & fun to feed.
We all loved it!
And, the camel was huge...& so cool!
Brady's face...he wasn't sure what to expect and got a big, slobbery lick from the camel. 😂
Then, we got to do the best part...a private one hour session with some super cool baby animals. It was incredible!

And, then my turn. He was soooo cute.
Then, we held a baby wallaby...looked like another baby kangaroo to us. 😉
Check out his flexibility...😂
Even Mommy loved holding the baby animals...and she is not our animal lover in the family. 😉
Then, the spider monkeys came out. They were so fun!!
They were crawling around...jumping everywhere. It made us laugh.
Like us, Daddy loved all these animals, too.
We each got to take a turn feeding the spider monkey a fruit loop from our mouth. He was so quick that Mommy was only able to get a picture of me doing it. I didn't want to hold the hyper spider monkey, but I sure loved feeding him like this.
There were a few spider monkeys and lemurs running around playing with us. It was awesome.
Averie even got 2 on her shoulder at one time.
Daddy held 2 at one time, too.
I finally decided to try, and while I was all smiles, this little guy wouldn't sit still long enough.
💖💙💚💜
These playful serval kittens came out and loved playing tug of war.
Mommy wasn't as "involved" as the rest of us. She blames it being the one taking the pictures and videos, but her face says it all when Daddy took this picture so she could participate. 😂😂
After that time was over, we went back to walk around...feeding the giraffes again first. Averie got brave and tried to feed the giraffe a carrot stick from her mouth. It worked, but a little daring and risky!
We also took a wagon ride, too. We got to see zebras, llamas, and other barn animals...feeding most of them, too. It was fun!
What a super fun day we had at Zootastic Park. Something we will remember for a long time.
