2 for the Price of 1

A while back I found a 2 for 1 deal inside my egg carton to go the Wildlife World Zoo. Dan and I had been trying to figure out what we want to do for Memorial Day. Something that would be fun but not hurt his arm. (which wasn't lot)  We had looked the zoo up online and it didn't look that big (some maps can be deceiving). So we figured, we go spend a couple of hours and we would take some water and some snacks and we would be done mid-afternoon. it was going to be a cool day of 95 degrees we wanted to take advantage of the Beautiful before we hibernate for the summer.


Well .   .   .   .

We got there at 9:30am and didn't get done til 5:30pm. We decided that was the best Zoo by far that we had ever been to and we still missed a couple of things. Here are some of the highlights of what we saw and did.

We were able to see a baby Flamingo. Who knew baby flamingos were white.

Dan and I decided that after taking 2 1/2 hours of just going through the aquarium part of the part that we would have lunch at Dillon's in the park. Turned out they were having a special so lunch wasn't too bad. The last part of the aquarium they had a Rare Albino Alligator. Can you see it?


We were able to feed some birds, they suck the juice out of an apple.


We also fed some Giraffes, it was a little slimy, but fun. Through out the park they had little feeders that you put in a quarter and it gave you feed like a candy machine. We also fed some cod, ducks, geese and what ever else got to the food first.

It was a nice to forget our worries for a day and relax at the zoo.
