That was Zoo-tastic!!

Yesterday was Mason's first visit to the zoo. Around here, we don't really have a full-fledged zoo per se, but it is an animal rescue sanctuary. We thought Mason would enjoy it anyways, since he loves animals. And he did. He kept running from one exhibit to the next, and climbing on the split rail fence and calling to the animal. We saw all sorts of animals (mostly native to this area): a black bear, lemur, badger, deer, jaguar, mountain lion, javelina, among others. It was already toasty out at 9 am when we went, but that's okay. Mason had a good time and that's all that matters.

This is a coati. Isn't it cute? We're

convinced that it's Max's distant cousin!! They sure have the same nose and dig dig dig the same!!

This, of course is a llama. Llamas are funny. They have squinty eyes and buck teeth. And they like to spit. They are really furry and tall. This was my report on llamas.

I also like peacocks. Peacocks are birds. They are pretty and have lots of colors. They have feathers that look like eyes.

So, although we were sweating like overweight pigs in a sauna, we still had fun and Mason got to see a tiger get fed chunks of raw meat. That's always a good time.
