Don'tcha Just Love the Zoo??

Yesterday (Saturday) we needed some cheap entertainment, so we decided to use our Zoo Pass. Becca's friend, Taylor came along with us. It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather. We told the girls they could decide where to go and what they wanted to see. They wanted to go to the petting zoo first - so we went over to Harmony Farm and saw the goats and sheep. This little goat was locked up in the barn. We could hear her bleeting. Her lips quivered every time she bleeted. (Sorry, but it reminded me of watching Jamie do her goat sound! You know, where she holds her lips out and her tongue wiggles when she bleets...) It was such a sad sound! She was in the feeding trough. Just look at those eyes! Then Becca and Taylor paid a visit to the zoo's oldest and most long time resident. Elgin is a shetland pony that came to live at the zoo as a 4 year-old in 1960. You do the math. The poor old horse doesn't have any teeth left, and is on a specialized diet. He seems healty and happy.

Becca and Taylor wanted to ride the little wooden ponies. You go, girls!

Two cute friends share the swing.

We moved along to the monkey village where you can actually go in to where the monkeys live. They climbed the ropes and swung throught the trees. It was fun to watch them move so quickly. We had a really great afternoon at the zoo. We did get quite thirsty - the "dehydration headaches were starting - so we stopped at the Circle K for a wonderful and refreshing drink and icees. M-m-m-m-m!
