Ever Petted a Deer?

We visited a deer petting farm while we were in Arizona this past weekend. I had never petted a deer before and thought hey that might be kind of neat for the kids. The kid's did enjoy it. They were able to pet and feed the deer.

Deer are not that soft like they look, there fur is very wirery. They were all very friendly and very hungry!

On this petting farm there were also pigeon's, buffalo, peacocks, goats, pot belly pigs, camels, and many other animals.
On Tuesday, when Chase and Cody went back to school this is the one thing that stuck in their head and Cody told his teacher that he fed a deer.

How adorable! My son is sitting next to me and is so jealous...he says he wants to go pet a deer :)

I've been kind of freaked out by deer since one jumped out in front of my car (on a major road) on my way to work...when I was about 6 months pregnant with my daughter. VERY scary! They are so beautiful, though!

Looks like the kids had a great time. I have pet a deer before and your right they aren't soft. But they are so sweet!
