The weekend before Halloween we made the trek down to Columbia to check out the Riverbanks Zoo. Ma and Pap were kind enough to join us. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. Dan wanted to wait until Lorelai was able to identify most of the animals before taking her, so this was her first trip ever to the zoo (It was Miller's first time, also).
Waiting outside of the ticket booth~very excitedly.
Feeding the goats.
Waiting for her turn at the pony rides. Our little equestrian in the making.
They gave her the smallest helmet they had but it was still too big, so she had to hold onto the pony with one hand while holding onto her helmet with the other.
Gazing at the zebras from afar.
Once the zebras noticed us they decided to come over for a visit.
Miller trying to climb up for a better look.
Getting help from Ma so he could check out the zebras that came up to see us.
Taking a leisurely ride on the train.
Attempting a few group photos. This is the one that ended up at the top of the blog.
Lorelai cooperated the best in the first picture. She started to fade after that becasue she wanted to go ride the carousel. Miller did the best in the second and third pictures.
A sweet autumnal picture of Dan and me.
Finally getting to ride the carousel.
As the zoo was getting ready to close we ducked into the koala exhibit, and believe it or not the koala was actually awake and moving around! (Probably because it knew it was closing time.)
