Weekend at the Zoo

Last weekend we visited the Richmond Zoo with my family. I often forget how much more I like smaller zoos and aquariums than larger ones. There are less people and you can normally get closer to the animals. As Charly is getting older she is a lot more curious and observant and that makes the zoo a little more fun. I know as she gets older going to zoos and children's museums will only get better.

We got to feed Giraffes 


They were kind of big and they scared Charly a bit, but she eventually warmed up to them.

And they warmed up to my dad!

We saw some flamingos 

We got up close and personal with some other birds

And fed some goats


There was so much to see she was kind of in awe of everything

Holli couldn't get over the boots,  jegging, pig tail combo. She looks so big!

All in all it was a wonderful Saturday!
