The Zoo


Last Saturday we spent the evening at the zoo. Every summer the zoo opens for an evening and invites the public to come, bring a picnic dinner, and see the animals close up. The concession stands gave away free snow cones all night and several were had by all. Anne did have a minor break down when the colors of her rainbow snow cone melted together and turned brown.



Special presentations by the zookeepers at the elephant, bird, giraffe, and alligator exibits were very entertaining. We watch the elephants devour whole watermelons and pick up tiny pieces of carrots with their trunks. My favorite was watching the keepers lure the alligators out of the lake and feed them fish and chicken. It made my heart jump!


Chad and I used to crawl under these same turtle shells when we were kids.
