There is a big zoo on the edge of town
and I am sure we will visit it frequently,
especially since it is open all year round!
We went today with Nadine and her Mama.
The girls went on a safari...
...and raced motorcycles
that seemed quite like the real thing
and they all had MICHIGAN plates!
Of course, we saw quite a few animals, too, including giraffes,
elephants, monkeys, goats, ponies, a leopard, deer, elk,
lots of birds and ducks, a hippo, and more.
Rana particularly enjoyed feeding the elephants carrots,
which they grabbed with their trunks as we held
them out in the air (from a safe distance!)!
