Matthew's First Trip to the Zoo

We took Matthew to Binder Park Zoo today and he LOVED it! I think he enjoyed the giraffes the most. He got to feed them and laughed the entire time. A few times he tried to put the biscuits in his own mouth, but the giraffes were too quick and got them before he did. He didn't get a chance to feel the goats or take a ride on the carousel because on the ride back from Africa he fell asleep...oh well.

We were entertained by the one month old snow leopard and the two cheetahs. The baby snow leopard weighs six pounds now and once she grows up a bit she will be put in her own enclosure before moving to another zoo to spend her time. One of the cheetahs was scared by some garbage floating in the pond and started growling and showing her teeth. That was a pretty cool sight! Usually the cheetahs and the snow leopard is asleep, but we were lucky to see them all awake and active today.

I am hoping to make a trip to John Ball Zoo with Matthew before I go back to school to see the lions and feed the rays and ride a camel. Until then, enjoy the photos from the zoo!
