We decided last minute to go to the Meyer Family Reunion (my mom's side of the family) this year! The reunion was being held in Blanding, Utah and we knew the boys would not do well being cooped up in the car for that long (about 4 hours) so we decided to make a pit stop at the Hole in the Rock just outside of Moab. Hole in the Rock is just that a big hole in a rock but they have built a little tourist attraction around it including a house built into the rock, a museum, a general store and a petting zoo!
The kids were excited to see Mater! Paxton with his cousins Misi, Ami, and Ofeina!
We also went to the petting zoo and got a bucket of food that we could feed to the different animals! Tegan was not at all afraid to get his hands in there and feed and pet the different animals! I was surprised at how many animals they has for a small roadside petting zoo! In addition to the typical sheep, goats, and donkeys they had a zebra, mini horses, alpacas, kangaroos and a camel.
The camel was no typical camel...he was a kissing camel! If you put a carrot in your mouth and held it up to the fence the camel would get it out of your mouth and give you a little kiss.
Andy lined right up to "kiss" the camel!
Paxton wasn't too impressed with the animals and just wanted to be held the whole time! I don't think he liked being out in the 103 degree weather...I wasn't a fan of that either!
