Last Friday we did a family trip to Columbia's Riverbanks Zoo. Andy was off on vacation for the week and Dylan has been doing a zoo unit w/school, so we decided to do a "field trip" and made a trip up to Columbia. It was not very busy because school wasn't out yet, which was nice, but it was a very hot day. The kids (and us) all had a great time seeing all the animals. Dylan's favorite animal was the elephant, Brendan liked the lemurs, and I think Maddie was just amazed at seeing ALL of the animals, she did great. We all (even Maddie) got to feed Chrissy the giraffe, which was a neat experience. We put some lettuce in our hands and held it out flat and she came up ever so gently and took it with her lips and tongue, the prickly hair from her lip tickled. After several hours we were all hot and the kids were getting tired so we hopped back in the car and headed home. It was a great day!
