Maymont Park

Dear Ruby, 

  Yesterday Dad was helping Uncle Dave so we had an all girls day at Maymont Park.  You loved running and playing with the other kids, climbing rocks, splashing in puddles and playing with sticks.  You payed only minimal attention to the main exhibits: the animals and were much more interested in just having a good time stretching those long legs of yours and playing with the children.

  It was Charlotte's first time at Maymont, so you showed her the ropes.

One funny thing is that when we got to the animals the the barn, I said that it would be fun to see the sheep and the goats and the chickens. You cried and said you were "scared of the goats".  I said why and you said "No boo".  I realized you thought we were going to see ghosts, not goats.  I explained that there would be no ghosts, only GOATS that say "meh" and have long horns, to which you were much more agreeable.
