The Zoo

We went to the zoo yesterday with my cousin Courtney and her little boy Oliver and my other cousin's wife Alison and her kids Madison and Lucas.

 

Caden and Madison were so excited to ride the camel! 

This monkey was very interested in the kids,  He was so cool looking, and he doesn't usually come up to the glass like this, 

The tiger was awake, and he was playing with some toys in his cage.  He was also roaring back at the kids which they loved! 

Taking a break. 

We got to see Reba the elephant up close, and her trainer was even there,  we got to watch her eat some apples, and when they were gone she kept making noises to the trainer because she wanted more,  She was so cool.  We also found out a lot of info about the elephants from the trainer.  There are 3 elephants, but they are always kept separate because they don't get along.  Reba was donated to the zoo in 1999 by the Ringling Brothers Circus after she killed someone.  The trainers never go into the cage with the elephants, and there is always some sort of barrier.
