As most of you know, the zoo here in town is one of my favorite places to take the kids. We have a family membership so broken down, each visit costs next to nothing. It was pretty nice Saturday morning, so Ryan and I took the kids for our first trip this spring. Not all of the animals were out yet, but the kids had a riot nonetheless. Turns out we weren't the only ones with the idea, the zoo was pretty busy!
Landon checking out some animals. They both like to climb on the fences and peer in. He got a little too close to one of the Rhino's and it turned around rubbed it's butt on a post and sprayed urine! There is a sign posted to beware as Rhino's will do this as a way of marking their territory, but we had never actually seen it done! Thankfully we weren't close enough, but we grabbed Landon and backed up quickly just in case!
Of course it wouldn't be a trip to the zoo without a stop at the petting zoo. The kids were feeding the goats here.
We spotted this peacock spreading out its tail. Of all the times we have been to the zoo this was the first time we saw that! The kids thought it was pretty neat. It was beautiful-and neat to see him strutting his stuff around! I don't know what it is about looking at the animals, but it never seems to get old...not for me either!
