VA Animal Zoo

After a weekend of cold weather camping with our MD family, we headed to a local Virginia Zoo. It was started as family hobby and grew into a zoo... you have to be careful of the hobbies you pick. Brett always refers to the zoo as the animal zoo. I'm not sure where this started or what other types of zoo he thinks are around. Perhaps he feels like our house is zoo so we live in the people zoo and he animals at the animal zoo.

They are most famous for the giraffes. You can feed the giraffes. It was a very neat experience. Brett and Breandan both tried feeding them. Seane really enjoyed it too. April thought their tongues were a little slimy feeling and really really long.

The zoo had the normal range of animals... lots of birds, monkeys, a tiger, bears, rhinos, penguins, and lots of other African animals. It was a good experience and they animals looked to be well take care of. All in all these animals were more active then I've seen a much bigger zoos.

We left our digital camera in MD so we picked up cameras for the boys at Walmart. This was their first experience with being photographers. As you can tell they need some more practice. As Brett is only in the background of one of the photos. He was too busy taking all the pictures to get in front of the camera.
