Through the Animal Ambassador program, the girls and Brandon are able to see a porcupine, an African wildcat, a sloth and an anteater up close. The girls were nervous about the wildcat but enjoy feeding the sloth and anteater.
The next day, Michaella teaches the girls how to sew. Michaella learned how to sew around their age. Zach says that his sister is naturally wonderful around children.
The other children said that they are thrilled for their sister to share her sewing wisdom with the younger sisters since they have stacks of clothing that need repairs and alteration whenever Michaella comes into town.
They decide to make a baby blanket for Zoey. Brandon and the girls head to Ceramic Art Café in La Grange, Illinois to do some art project. If you did not know that the last time that the couple had been in the shop was before they got engaged.
