This was supposed to be part of Max's Christmas present, but I found out this farm would be moving the week after Christmas... Max has been talking about capybaras non-stop - they are the world's largest rodent and oddly cute. So I found this little farm that had a normal petting zoo and "exotics" - like capybaras!! On Friday morning, Susie the Elf brought him a capybara pillow and instructions to go to a specific address. When we arrived, we went on a "Capybara Lovers Experience" which gave us 15 minutes of private time with both the babies and the adults.
See? They're kind of cute. These are the babies - 3 months old.
Max feeding them lettuce
Were you the guy who ate my shoe lace???
I couldn't stop taking pictures of them...
After 15 minutes of using "self-defense lettuce" to try to get the babies from eating our pants (and the rest of our shoes...), we moved on to the adults.
They were super chill in comparison...
Then we went on a tour of the farm, that put us back in with the capybaras.
They had several tortoises!
And I can't remember what kind of animal she was, but super cute (her name was Munchkin).
And a porcupine!
We stopped to feed the chickens and the goats before heading out.
No, Max. You are NOT getting a baby goat.
Then, we went to Nana's for cookie decorating and a delicious burger dinner!!
