Riverbanks Zoo

Today we drove down to the Riverbanks Zoo. It was a great day for the zoo. It was warm but not to hot. Rachel enjoyed seeing all the animals and walking around. She did really well - I was impressed! We had a great time and can't wait to go back with daddy!
The elephants

Say, "elephant" and wave!

Giraffes
The small giraffe is 2 months old.
Koala Bear asleep in a tree.

Lorikeets
We paid $2.00 for Rachel to feed the Lorikeets. It was so worth it! The birds are very friendly and will come up to your cup and drink. I held the cup first and then Rachel wanted to try. She did a great job feeding the birds and was not afraid at all.

Tigers

Lions
We actually saw this lion climb up on the rock.

Baboons
Penguins (my favorite to watch)

Love this picture of Rachel!
Catherine, Sophia, and Rachel pose with a dinosaur.

Flamingos

The Chimps were right infront of a picnic area where we ate lunch. It was nice to watch them swing around while we got our food and ate.
