Yesterday we drove all the way to the Wildlife World Zoo. It was really far. It took us about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get there, but it was totally worth it. This zoo was much more open and some of the enclosures were smaller so we could see the animals much better. We went on a train ride that takes you out into a special area where the animals are roaming around in the open. That was very cool! We also took a boat ride and were able to see some kangaroos. Our favorite part of the day was the llamas. They came right over to us!! Pat just about kissed one. It was really neat to see them so close. Sawyer remembered llamas from watching Diego!! They also recently opened an Aquarium. The kids really liked seeing the fish and the sharks. Although I think Sawyer was expecting the sharks to be much bigger!! I wish we could go more often, but we are definitely planning another trip this fall.

This leopard (?) was above us in a cage/tunnel he could walk through. He looked just like Freeway when he is sleeping.

It was so neat to be right up close to the animals.
This bird was actually busy building a nest!!
This bird was too funny! He kept sticking his beak through the fence trying to get our cookies!!
