The pet show

Saturday we went to the pet expo at the Delta Plex. Our kids are so afraid of animals and we thought this would be good for them. Tim was not too excited about this but I just kept telling him that this will be a great "life experience" for our kids. So, off we went. It was nothing fabulous, but the kids got to see all the animals in a controlled environment and most of the time felt comfortable enough to actually pet them!
We also learned alot about the kids. Avery will pet anything you put in front of her and she really thought it was neat!
Jackson pet all the dogs, cats, bunnies and ponies- but would not even consider touching the snakes, lizards and crocs!
Jaideyn would not even consider touching the dogs, cats, bunnies or ponies- but did not hesitate for even a second to pet the snakes, lizards and crocs.
This was all extremely interesting to us. We have always know that the kids are annoyingly afraid af animals, but to see what they would and would not pet was fun.
All in all we had a good time and we will definately try to go back next year. Hopefully it has eased the kids fears a bit, but you never know!
