Our day at Deer Forest in Paw Paw, MI

One day during our vacation in Michigan, Grandpa Harris, Aunt Julie and I took Jack to the Deer Forest. Jay had not arrived in Michigan yet and since he is not a huge fan of animals or zoos, I thought it would be something fun to do with Jack before Daddy arrived.

Deer Forest is basically a very small scale zoo that was built perhaps in the 1940's I am guessing?? And I swear, not much has changed since then. What I found to be very nice about Deer Forest is that everything is so much closer than you would find at the typical zoo. So, Jack was actually able to see and feed the animals. He had a blast....except for when the baby cow mooed in his face. Although the moo came from just a calf, it was very loud and extremely scary for a 10 and half month old. My poor baby! He quickly forgot about it though and absolutely loved riding the pony immediately after the scary cow moos!

As I do so often lately, I thought to myself just how old Jack is getting and how quickly time flies. I mean, look at him...he is riding a pony! A year ago, I was still waiting for him to be born! What an amazing year....looking forward to so many more! Words cannot explain how much I love my sweet baby boy!
