Drive Thru Zoo

We decided to explore a drive-thru zoo not too far from where we live.  It was a bit of a rainy day, but that worked out well for us, since you're suppose to stay in your car.  The kids did get to play a little bit on the playground there when there was a break in the rain.

When you enter the zoo they give you a bucket of feed for the animals and the animals are not shy at all about eating from you.  There were some really aggressive animals that I found quite frightening - especially the ostriches.  There was this one sort of horned animal that looked like the cross between a bull and a deer that looked hungry, so I told John to feed him.  That animal lost no time and violently took a hold of the bucket and forced it from John's hands.  It was pretty funny, but we lost all our animal feed.  We didn't feel too bad, since a lot of the animals would put their heads inside other cars, which I did not want them to do with ours. :)

They had some bigger animals behind fences, like giraffes and rhinos.  It was a pretty fun experience - we had never done anything like it before.
