My family came to visit in early April and we went to Maymont Park. It was a wonderful time even though it was a bit cool. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and it was not crowded at all. (We went on the same day as the Monument 10K which is a HUGE race in downtown Richmond.) This park is a large park in the heart of the city with gardens, ponds, a mansion to tour, petting zoo area, and many other animals and fun things to enjoy.

The Black Bear- He was laying right in front of us (okay so there was a wall to separate us) but we just didn't expect to see this at the park.

The farm
Goats
Tired sheep- Actually we think this sheep was sick because the farm helpers later had to go in the pen to get him out.
Feeding the goats and rams
Big ole pott bellied pig. His teeth were sticking out and he was breathing so loudly.
VCU signs hanging in the farm area. This was during March Madness when VCU was winning.
Davis feeding the goats.
Roosters- You should have heard Stacey imitating them. Oh if I had this on video!
It was super fun to watch Davis feed the animals. It was excited for sure.
Some of the animals were pigs and would push others out of the way.
Butting heads
Horse time

Views at the park
Ok so we wore him out at the Park. We loved the park and had such a great time we took Chris's parents when they came down 2 weekends later. We got to see the otters when they came and that was very cool. This is one of our favorite spots in Richmond so far.
