Lions, and Tigers, and Bears

So we took a trip to the Abilene Zoo this week. I had heard from several different people that it was a great little zoo and we thought we would go check it out. It really did impress us and I have to say, you can't beat the price. $4 for adults and Sadie was free! We paid $1.50 for some "animal crackers" to feed the animals. You really can't beat it. Sadie had a great time. We saw monkeys, bears, rinos, tigers, and giraffes just to name a few. The coolest thing was that there was a bridge that went over the giraffe exhibit and they would come right up and eat crackers. I never knew it, but they have really long tongues. This was definitely Sadie's favorite part. We had to go back 3 times to feed them. I really liked that we were able to see everything in about 2 hours including our repeats. We also were able to eat lunch and were home by 3:30 when we all took naps. That's what I call a great day!

Here's a picture from the bottom. Sadie and Gabe are up at the top if you can make them out.

And we ended the trip with what else, but a giraffe. Sadie held it all the way home!
