Oak Mountain

This weekend was cool and beautiful. My sister Kirsten came up for a visit so I decided we should go to Oak Mountain State Park.
Our first stop was the petting farm. For the first time ever, Alex touch an animal other than a cat or dog. This is the third time we have gone to a petting zoo and she always refused to touch any of the animals.

After the farm, we went to the wildlife center. Alex was excited to see the squirrels and birds. She was relieved to know she didn't have to touch anything. As a special treat, one of the volunteers brought out an educational bird for us to meet.
He was a gorgeous young red tailed hawk.
