A Family trip to Elmwood Park Zoo

We thought that today might be a great day at Elmwood Park Zoo since the weather has cooled off a bit. The animals were very lively today. Dave really enjoyed watching them.
The fox was out and about running around his cage!

We weren't quite sure what the "Hallie dog" (wolf) was doing. He seemed to big digging a big hole and pulling apart this old tree in really big pieces. Dave watched him for quite some time.
Dave and Daddy taking one last look to see if they can figure out what the wolf is doing.
My buddies the prairie dogs.

Dave and Daddy being prairie dogs!!!
Joan the new pig is starting to feel a little bit more comfortable in her new home at Elmwood.
And of course, we can't forget about the turtles.

It was like this little guy wanted his picture taken!!

Today Dave thought that he would like to try to feed the sheep and goats. So we started with the sheep thinking that they might not be as pushy (which they weren't). But Dave decided that I should try to feed them first and show him how so I did.This time it was Daddy's turn. Dave decided that he would just stand really close and help. Maybe at our next trip he'll hold the cone.

Th otter's were out and about swimming.
