Riverbank Zoo

Last week we took the opportunity to visit Riverbanks Zoo on the way to meet Meeps and Gran for a "big girl drop." One of the girls' favorite spots was the bird and butterfly garden. I think each of the girls was able to feed at least one bird and one wouldn't get off of Mark. (Sophie has declared that our next visit she will have to wear a blue shirt to attract the birds.)


The koala was one of Haleigh's favorites!
This iguana played chase with Mackenzie for quite a while.
The aquarium was beautiful! I am continually amazed at God's creature creations!
This crab is not an illusion it is as big as it looks. Its body was easily bigger than Haleigh's head!
My favorite, by far, were the silver backs! They are amazing and huge yet seemed kid-like as they moved and interacted!!






We wrapped up the day watching the penguin feeding. It was a blast to watch how gracefully those penguins moved, even getting in and out of the water seemed like one smooth glide. (Mackenzie got tired of waiting for the event to start so she and Daddy explored some other areas.)
It was a sweet day, a very hot day, but a very sweet day!!
