Zippity Zoo Da....at Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia!
Going to the zoo is always fun, if we could, we would go there every weekend! Abby was feeding the goats for the first time, she was scared in the past. She told me the goat "tickled" her hand. :) Ben was at home with daddy, he wasn't feeling well. I can not wait to take him to the zoo next time. Abby also climbed the rock wall for the first time! Last time, she didn't weigh enough. They have to be at least 40 lbs. This time she was exactly 40 lbs, I was so happy for her! She did great, climbed half way! Hannah climbed all the way to the top! I know Abby will next time too!
The gorillas are always a sight to remember, anytime we come. We were glued to the plexiglass, watching their every move. One of them was propped up on the hill waiting for his food to land at his feet (the zookeeper was on the roof). The kangaroos have a nice new home at the zoo. I love the fact that you can walk through the exhibit and watch them go through their daily routines from literally few feet away. The train is a must! The kids ride it every single time! And they always sit in the same spot - the caboose!
Our favorite animals:
Abby - zebra and ostrich
Hannah - lion and hyena
Ben - tiger and skunk
Frank - brown bear and river otter
Mina - lion and polar bear
