In August my oldest son and I went to visit a local zoo. We had an interesting time. One of the neat things was that the zoo offered a safari ride (for an extra fee, of course) so we decided it would be fun to take it. It took us through five areas that had been cordoned off and we got a real close up look of the animals. In fact, we had the privilege of petting and feeding them. Our tour guides (if that's what you want to call them) were really nice. The guy drove while the girl ran ahead and opened up the gates to each area. She ran her legs off. She is in great shape. I remember a day when I could have ran like that. The days when I used to run cross country in gym class are long gone. Oh to be in the shape now that I was in then. Not going to happen. Age takes its toll on all of us eventually. And it takes its toll on some of us sooner than on others. And sometimes it isn't age as much as lifestyle and how well we cared for ourselves. Anyway, I didn't mean to get into all of that.
Here is the zoo story in pictures with a few comments from me. Hope you enjoy. Perhaps you will recognize some friends. :D
A bison who, obviously, thought that popcorn was worth licking your lips over.
Baby, don't make me leave you.
Hey Henrietta, look at those funny creatures over there on that truck!
At least some people appreciate me.
Family Meeting!
The best dressed of the whole zoo.
And last, but certainly not least, our wonderful safari guides.
Thank you for sharing in our day at the zoo.
