Worth 1,000 Words: Petting Zoo

We had the privilege of assisting a ministry with a petting zoo this week!  (I know…we had NOTHING else going on, why not?!)  Apparently, it’s common knowledge that the Phipps’ always have a small menagerie of animals around and, of course, we jumped at the opportunity!  We love kids…we love livestock…we love doing things that the whole family can participate in – it was a win win!

We had a ton of fun talking to the kids about they animals and THEY had a ball petting them, feeding them and begging to take them home.  Here are a few pics from the evening…
