Zoo Trip

Tommy has a friend who works at the zoo. She told him she could arrange a private behind the scenes viewing. He accepted! It was a cold, rainy day but since we were inside in the secret places of the zoo, we were warm and dry! The girls got to see and touch many animals. The first thing we saw was a boa constrictor.

Then a horned lizard (I think).


This bird spread it's wings suddenly and one of them hit Mary. She was quite surprised!


Steve and Jena were ever vigilant keeping an eye out for stray animals that bite, scratch or squeeze.


This is the first live armadillo I've ever seen. They're usually dead laying along Highway 44.

We saw a ferrett,

a giant turtle,

a very good baby.


By the time we made it out, Steve & Tommy had to take a break.


I love these penguins. Had to share this picture of them.
