Zoo Pals and a weekend of nothin'

Alright, so everyone raves about the giraffes, but no one ever told me that they have so much slime!!! Gross, yet still somehow cool.
I didn't take squat for photos, my dad took a lot(but mostly of the animals).

This prairie dog reminds me of the YouTube video that went around for a while. They are some funny critters. They kept posing for the cameras.

The girls looking for zebras...

Teagen was not afraid to get a drink...

Vicious giraffe! There was about 5 cars at the zoo so needless to say the animals were not as well fed as they are all summer.

All in all, not as good as I had hoped. John Ball has WAY more animals and exhibits. However, I tend to feel bad for the animals at John Ball because I think some of the conditions are not so hot. I hate to see them pace back and forth all day and the Bald Eagle just makes me really sad. The animals at Binder seem to have better living areas, but there are just not a lot to see. And that was a hellah a drive. Thank goodness my kids sleep in the car(both ways!). And Rocky was a trooper, doing great with the craziness that comes with 3 littles in public.
