We Went to the Zoo . . . Again!

Oh my -- do you think we go to the zoo
every weekend?
 
Well, yes we usually do!
 
The sweet Red Panda -- from China!
 
It's not far from our house,
we have a membership and it is loads of fun!
 
 
Maddy and one of her fave AG dolls --Little Maddy!
 
This past weekend it was the train's 50th anniversary
so, it was a must that we attend
the celebration.
Train rides were 50% off!
Someone very close to me
(my Dad)
spent his working days working
on the real railroad and then
after he retired, he worked on a zoo
railroad - not ours though.
A really big zoo's train!
 
Anyhoo, it was a lovely weekend, so
we headed to the zoo again!
The only downside was that a bumblebee buzzed into my hair
as we waited to get in!  Yikes!
I was afraid it would get stuck in my big hair, but luckily
it flew out before it stung me!
 
 
Maddy rode one of the ponies! 
 When she was 
a little bitty thing, she rode a pony
every single visit!
She hasn't ridden one lately, but we saw the dapple gray and
decided she must ride it! :)
 
 
She also visited her most favorite
animal at the zoo!
The pretty llamas -- aren't they so sweet!
 
Open wide Llama llama!
 
The zoo closes in only a couple weeks -
we will miss our weekly visits.
But, there is Boo at the Zoo
later this month!
We. Love. Our. Zoo!
