What a very fun day we had! There is a small family owned zoo a little bit north of us, Hemker Park & Zoo. We decided to take a trip up there to check it out today. It was small, but had some fun attractions.
In the Farm Yard area, there were a number of animals that were desperate for some treats! We all got to feed goats, sheep, pigs, and a cow. Jaelyn loved it, Xander tolerated it. :)
The Budgie Birds
Scott's and my favorite area was the Budgie house. These birds flock like crazy to you, especially if you have a feed stick in your hand. Jaelyn was excited at first, but when she saw a dozen or more birds flapping their wings just inches from her face, she got a bit freaked out.

What's a visit to the zoo without a few face boards?
A Few More Animals
Many of the animals came right up to the fences to say hi. These deer followed Jaelyn down the length of the pen and around the corner. :)

Family Photos
There were a few nice spots to snap some family photos while we were there. Jaelyn enjoyed grabbing the camera and directing Mom and Dad in a mini photo shoot.
But, after a cat nap in the car, they were raring to go again! We had a nice picnic dinner at a local park and then had fun playing on the equipment and down by the river.

They loved throwing rocks into the river and I loved spending the day with my family.
