We spent the day at the zoo today and ~K~ was just in awe of all the beautiful animals. It was a great day because all the animals were really active, so we got some awesome quality time with them.
This cute penguin must have really liked ~K~, he kept coming over to her and looking at her.
Oh her favorite! The elephants. She was just in heaven standing next to these sculptures and sitting on them. I had to convince her to leave this area to go see the real things.
They were so neat to see, they were all fairly close to the fence, so it felt very personal.
And speaking of personal, we were close enough to the giraffes to be licked! Yes, you were actually able to feed the giraffes pieces of lettuce. You stand on the lookout type balcony and they walk right up to you and practically take the lettuce out of your hand. It was the best experience ever.
Watching the trainers work with the big cats was neat to see also. They were behind glass for safety, but it still felt very personal.
At the children's petting zoo, they have this huge tank full of koi fish. There is also a "gumball" type feeder that you can put in a quarter and get a hand full of food to feed them. One of the fish jumped up and splashed us. ~K~ of coarse liked to put her fingers in and touch them.
Also in the children's petting zoo, you could go in and interact with the goats. They would let you pet them and play with them. Some of them were really soft and they were all very sweet, but you had to watch out, they would try to nibble at your pants!
She loved them so much that she was giving this one a kiss.
