Ramsey's First Adventure at Storybookland

The weather couldn't have been nicer this past Sunday afternoon, so it was time for a little family trip to Storybookland!

Since Ramsey is older now and can motor around, we thought it would be fun to get his reactions to all of the fun attractions at the local fun-filled park and playground.

We started off by heading to the train.  We hopped on and let it carry us through the park and the zoo.

Ramsey was extremely wide-eyed and, with so many things to see, not really sure where to focus his attentions.

(I had hoped to get a picture of the awesome red train, but it was a little busy, so not a lot of time for lookie-loos, doddling, and picture-taking!)

After that, we headed to get some Dippin' Dots and refreshments.   Then... into the park we went!

First stop, Smokey the Bear.  Ramsey wasn't quite sure what to think of him at first. 

Then, he just wanted to touch him and grab his nose. 

Here's Yogi and BooBoo 

 He was quite taken with Mary and her little lamb.

 And very concerned for the three little kittens who had lost their mittens.  He had to go to each one and console them.  I guess they looked pretty sad.  

 Ramsey loves to point now.  He wants to know what everything is.  

 With all the walking, he needed to take a load off!

Next stop: The carousel!  The ride went quite a bit faster than I had thought it would, so I had to hang onto Ramsey quite diligently while the horsey went up and down.  Ramsey held on, laughed a lot, and was in awe.   Eric joked that he thought I had more fun than Ramsey on the carousel ride.   Apparently my laughs were quite loud.  It WAS fun to be a kid again!

 We had to say BYE BYE to the horsies and animals for now.

 But, we headed off to see the real animals at the petting zoo.  There, they had miniature donkeys, horses, a baby calf, sheep, and goats.

 Ramsey was very eager to see inside the barn stalls!

 He saw a baby lamb (who was really HOT - poor thing!).

 Then some goats.

 And then outside to get a closer view!

 Knowing how much Ramsey loves to feed Riggsy, we bought some pellets to give to the goats.  Eric gave one to Ramsey, which he IMMEDIATELY shoved in his mouth!  Mmm, protein.  We fished it out and Eric showed him that it was for the goats, not him!

He proceeded to feed the goats, stick his fingers in their mouths (thankfully they weren't biters), up inside their noses, and laugh his butt off.

My camera phone decided it was dead for the day.  And, so were we!

We're planning another trip later on to see more of the park, hit the slides, the castle, and other fairy tale attractions.
