Leesburg Animal Park

Recently, we were able to spend some fun and much needed family time together. I had asked around to find a place we should go to pick pumpkins and a friend recommended the Leesburg Animal Park. So we decided to go there. We ended up not being able to get there before Halloween, but it was fun nonetheless.

 These little bunnies were cracking me up. They were just little balls of fluff the size of Kevin's fist all huddled together for warmth. The white one kept putting it's head under the other bunny's bum.
 The three of us. 
 Weirdest looking animals. Apparently the second largest rodent???
 This little calf was just 2 weeks old! So cute.
 No, this is not Penelope, I just had to get a picture next to him to compare sizing with our little piggy.
 Happy boy.
 This monkey sucked it's thumb! A little boy walked up while we were watching the monkey and exclaimed, "hey! You're still sucking your thumb you silly monkey!" His mother said he had recently quit sucking his thumb. They come to the animal park every year, so this year he wanted to see if the monkey became a "big boy" too and wasn't sucking his thumb anymore. But that monkey still was. As he was leaving, the boy said, "Bye Monkey! See you next year! Stop sucking your thumb, ok?!"

 These donkeys were making Kevin and I laugh. They followed us around the entire time we were in the petting zoo area.  One was even knocking Kevin in the leg with it's head and biting his pants because it wanted to get pet some more. I am foreseeing a miniature pony in our future...
"Is your mama a llama?" We had a lot of fun showing Henry all the animals and making memories. I can't wait to take Henry next year and see him really interacting with all the animals.
