Sunday morning after Thanksgiving, not a creature was stirring EXCEPT all of the animals at the zoo!!!! We arrived right at 9:00 a.m. and it was perfect. Nobody was there! We had the whole place to ourselves. All of the animals were out and eating breakfast. Plus the weather was cool and comfortable and in SA, that is a big, big bonus!!
Did you know that the SA zoo is rated #6 in the country?? After yesterday, I believe it!! We had the best time!!
Here's the gang ready to go!
and Rocco too!!
We saw monkeys!! This trip to the zoo has probably traumatized Jillian for life. We are all standing at the viewing area to the monkeys when a monkey jumps right at the glass (spread eagle). All of us screamed and then started laughing. Well, all except Jillian who was hysterically crying and took 10 minutes to calm down.
This monkey was carrying a little baby around her tummy.
This is the pride of the SA zoo....two black leopards. They are beautiful!!
Jillian loves this gigantic toad. She talks about him all of the time.
I love the hippo exhibit!! Where else can you get this close to a hippo??
After being traumatized by the monkey, and then we had another traumatic event with a bird landing on Mommy's shoulder and freaking out which caused Jillian to freak out, Jillian was not in the mood to deal with the goats.
Finally everybody started to get tired. BUT this was definitely the best trip to the zoo EVER!!! So tips to moms out there, go to the zoo on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. No crowds, good weather, happy animals, the works!!!!
