Big Joel's Animal Safari

Always on the lookout for something new to do every time we head to grandma's house. 
This time, mom remembered Joel's animal farm that opened last year.
 
Joel Clinger was actually a classmate of Kyle's at Warrenton (k-12) and then at Mizzou.  After graduating with a degree in animal science, he opened his own animal farm/petting zoo with the help of his parents/family.
 
Owen loved seeing the animals almost as much as uncle Kyle.

 "See!... See!" Owen's favorite quote lately.
Kaden & the other kids got the chance to feed the camel.  So neat!

This little miniature horse was such a good sport as Owen pet on him for a long time.

 The thing I enjoyed the most about Joel's place was that the kids could touch & feed many of the animals. He had a lot of variety and I felt safe letting the boys roam around the animals with their friends.

 Kaden talked about finding a turtle the whole time...

 

Both boys were TIRED by the end of the adventure.  So tired that they both passed out in the back of the car within 5 minutes of us leaving.  Success.
