Zoo Chronicles

So this is mostly just zoo pictures from the last few times we were there.

As promised here are our elephant pictures







We love the hippos..... but stand back they mark their territory



This is me being a peacock




So we sat and watched the peacock for awhile, Eventually people started to gather around it and it must have gotten scared because it spread it feathers, then this little kid got to close and it chased the kid. I have never seen a little kid run like that. Sorry, my cruel humor I thought it was so funny.

Zoo Happenings

So we had the most amazing event at the zoo the other day. We had gone to the zoo for the afternoon with Ryan and Angie. It had been a rainy day so there weren't a whole lot of people there, but most of the animals are inside now so it didn't really matter. It was about an hour before the zoo was closing and we went in to the Elephant building. We were talking with one of the keepers. We were the only ones in there and we visited with him for about 30 minutes. Trevor asked if we could take a picture closer up and GUESS WHAT!!! The keeper invited us into the back. We got to go right into the back of the building and touch the brandnew baby elephant through the bars. IT WAS SO COOL!! I don't know why, maybe it was the end of a slow day, right time, right place , right guy, we had visited for awhile and no one else was around, but it was so cool. Elizabeth was terrified she just clung to Trevor saying "no no" and Sam slept through it. To bad because we all know things like that don't happen twice. I will post pictures when I get them from Angie.

The Zoo

My Mumma bought Trevor and I Zoo passes for our birthdays so that we can take Elizabeth to see the animals.



She didn't seem to appreciate the fact that the peacocks were not locked up, luckily Dad was there to protect her


Turtles were a much better companion

We did find however that the most wild of all animals all congregated at one place


THE PLAYGROUND!!!!


The Wild Elizabeth:

Can often be found in the tunnel.
Her primary forms of travel are walking and buttscooting.
When viewed she was found eating orange screamers.
She is impatient with being to small to go on the big kids playgrounds.
Is most vicious around nap time and bed time.






The Docile Sam:

Content as long as he is being held.
There is no known form of travel without a companion.
Eats milk.
Doesn't seem to understand why he is not held at all times.
Is most ferocious around meal times and sleeping times.
