wildlife Zoo

We went to the wildlife zoo with Charlie's preschool class. I have been wanting to go because you get to do so many hands on activities with the animals. They also have an aquarium with hands on exhibits like stingrays and sharks and some different types of coral and starfish.

Here is Jon, and the kids feeding the giraffes. Giraffes have 18" long tongues that work like hands. It was cool but theirs tongues are a little slimey.

This black panther exhibit had a cage above our heads and when we looked up the black panther had jumped at Jon. It was actually scary to have the animal up so close. The kids loved it!

Charlie was scared to feed the parrots at first but he overcame his fear! I was so proud of him. Jack was fearless and loved feeding the birds. Poor Claire tried grabbing one of the birds heads and got bit.

We took a break and played on the playground while we took kids to the bathroom. I thought Charlie looked so cute relaxing on the bridge.

Of course my little fireman Jack had to go down the firepole. I just love that kid!

Claire was thrilled to find a baby goat.
