Boys afternoon out

We had a great afternoon with the boys yesterday whild Samantha was at her grandparents house. We needeto get chicken feed so we took a trip to the feed store. Then we went to a store called Country Max, where we were planning on getting the feed. They have animals, fish and snakes. Jason thought Jonathan would like to see the animals. All the boys liked them! We spent some time walking around the store looking at things. Jonathan tried to get us to get him a bunny! I told him he needed to earn his own money if he wanted something. I told him how I wanted a guinea pig and I saved my money to purchase one. Little did I know she was pregnant! Ended up with 4 for the price of one! After that we went a pet store. Nicholas loved the puppies! He went back and forth just barking and laughing! It was so cute! A customer was in with a dog they were baby sitting and Nick walked up to the dog and started petting her. Then he took the leash from the lady! So she let Nick walk the dog! The lady was holding on to part of the leash. We petted some really tiny hamsters, some ferrets, a bird and some guinea pigs. Jonathan asked for a boa! We even played with an $1100 beagle puppy. They loved it! It was great hearing the little ones laughing at the puppy's antics! We gave the puppy kisses and sent her back to her cage. I think we could have stayed longer but it was very crowded. Now we know a cheap field trip! After that we ended up at Pet Smart and Jon purchased a Beta fish. A cheap pet! Finally, I got to share my love of animals and the kids actually enjoyed themselves! The beagle puppy was the best though....watching Steven and Nick pick her up and play with her. It took Jon quite a bit of coaxing before he finally picked up the puppy. She was so tiny! Of course, I would love to take her home but not for that price!!
