Binder Park Zoo

It's been a busy week! (I'll try to take some pictures of Matt at work and give an update on his activities this week.) We decided to make today a family day and head out to Binder Park Zoo. I'd been wanting to go there for quite some time, but it just hasn't worked in the schedule until now. The weather was beautiful today and the crowd was light, so it was a great day to go to the zoo.

We headed over to the Wild Africa area first. The giraffes are obviously used to guests and came right up to the observation deck. Of course, it helped that they got fed there, too.


I had a blast feeding the giraffes--Anna not so much. She was a little afraid of them.


We even got to see the baby giraffe!


These animals are the kind that Anna loves!


We headed over to the Children's area later. Anna was excited to go in to see some goats--until it was actually time to go in and see them. She was holding onto Matt very tightly while he fed the animals.


Another animal Anna would get close to!


We had a wonderful day enjoying the animals..and the togetherness..and the weather! We've been to quite a few zoos this summer. This has been my favorite by far and I'm glad we were finally able to go today. The next zoo on my list will be one that has elephants. We've been to five zoos this year and Anna hasn't seen a real elephant yet!
