Last week my sister Cathy and neice Ansley made a visit from California to visit colleges and we had a great time getting to see them while they were here. The last day they were here they didn't have any activities planned so we decided to make a trip out to Oak Mountain to take the kids to the petting zoo and go hiking.

 |
| Everyone seeing the pigs. The one in the middle became known as "grumpy pig". |

| Tate was excited about the horse until it got a little too close he wasn't sure about that. |
 |
| Ansley with the boys. |

| Which one is the goat? (they all smell the same) :) |
And then...
There are times in life where you can't totally explain why something happened but it did. At one point, Aunt Cathy decided that the sheep needed to come out of their stall so the children could see them better. If you know my sisters, they are quite determined people and they wouldn't let it go. Finally they went into full hearding mode which apparently at the petting zoo if frowned upon and Aunt Beth was ejected from the petting zoo by the park ranger.

| This was scene posted around the park. |
 |
| When reviewing security footage, it was revealed that the instigator was really the "girl in the black shirt" AKA Aunt Cathy. Notice the tow out front fleeing the scene. |
 |
| Tates cousins all took their shoes off and were walking through the river at the bottom of the falls and of course Tate had to as well. |
 |
| Here he is with his helpers, Katie and Sam with his walking stick. You go mountain man. |
Overall we had a great visit with Cathy and Ansley while they were here. We hope to see them back in a couple years if Ansley decides to go to college around here!
