Today we took a little day trip to Niabi Zoo near the Quad Cities. It's just the right size for a few hours of fun. We got up close and personal with lots of animals. First stop was the train ride, to get a lay of the land:
I could have stayed and watched the elephants all day. Why do I think they're so cute?! They're not small, soft and cuddly. But I love them. I do.
These emus reminded me of a certain Texas drive-through safari. All that separated them from us was a rope fence that didn't deter them in the least from coming over to "our" side.
The next thing we knew, Will had FOUR birds on his arm!:
Finally, Sam got brave enough to let a bird sit on his arm:
Well, hello precious! Can I take you home with me?!
Sam made sure to feed this goose so that he could "grow a new wing."
It's amazing how long you can make a handful of fish food last if you only throw out one little piece at a time.
It was a fun trip to the zoo and we were home by 3:30. Even though Will was a little bit disappointed that we were not going swimming at a waterpark, I think everyone had a good time.
