Zo the Zoologist

I little bit of back ground here.

Zoë loves animals and all she gets so exciting to see is the cow that lives across the street from our house. She doesn’t complain that that’s all she see but I would like her to see more real live animals not just ones from her story books.

Dad and I decided it was time to find a petting zoo or a zoo for that matter. So Dad looks up in the phone book under zoo and sure enough there was one Pine Ridge Zoo he gives them a call to see if it still is existing and it was.

Packed up my car and head over to the zoo it was only 20 minutes away so not bad at all. I was not really expecting anything good here maybe 5 animals or so, so no expectations. Sure enough we get there and it turns out to be so good! With over 25 different kinds of animals including big ones like Jaguar, Yak, Lamas, Tiger and more over 40 beautiful acres and natural foliage and trails. This zoo had it going on also when we got there they were selling a bag of peanuts for $1 I bought a bag as I thought Zoë would enjoy feeding the animals.

As were walking down the trails Zoë is talking and singing to the animals she also was not afraid to feed them she joined in on eating the peanuts. It was cool to get down on her level and see what she sees as she is so excited to see them all.

Oh Zoë my little zoologist!
