Zoo Time

Brent and I love the zoo. We frequently would run through the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago and so when we heard there was a really nice zoo here in Columbia we were thrilled.

We finally went and it was great! It might not have the backdrop of the Chicago skyline but it did have much closer animal experiences which I loved. The main one is that you can feed the giraffes. They eat right out of your hand. Of course, they had just finished eating when we got there but we were still able to say hello quickly before they wandered off for their nap. The best part, it is only 5 minutes from our house so next time you can be certain I will get their in time to feel the tall guys!

This little guy kept falling asleep sitting up and then would suddenly wake just before his head hit the ground. So funny, but I know how you feel little man.

 Brent like child, so excited about his Icee.


 So close! Next time I will feed you...

 There is also a kangaroo park where you walk in and literally walk right by the kangaroos, no fence or anything. They were all taking their siesta so didn't get to see any hopping but maybe next time.

And no Zoo is complete without the elephants. 

Great time we will be back again soon furry friends!
