Acadiana Zoo- Caleb's first Zoo Experience

We took Caleb to the zoo last week for the first time. Given his love for the horse next door to Memaw's house, I figured he may enjoy seeing other animals. He did! The zoo itself is not grand by any means, but it is nice and for Caleb, it was perfect. We ate lunch in their picnic and snack area. We road the train. We sat in the front of an attachment car, so he loved looking at the wheels and when we got to the animals in the back... Well, he about climbed out of the train to chase the zebras. He wanted to touch them sooooo much. We fed the lamas and goats in the petting area. Caleb kept trying to open his mouth (like he does to our dogs) for the goat to kiss him(that is what the dogs do). I found it funny. NO, the goat did not kiss him. I put food for the goat on his tray so the goat would get close to him. He did, but Caleb apparently finds goat food tasty too! He sampled a couple of the bits. Yuck. I don't know what to do about that. He eats the dogs' food too when we forget to pick it up. Anyway, our first zoo experience was a good one. I am sure we will go again in the near future. Look closely. You will see the food they both enjoyed eating!

Caleb is waiting for a kiss! Sorry Caleb, the goat is not interested.

The greedy little lamas! They are so used to being fed that they try to lick it out of the dispenser before you can get any food.


Lunch outdoors. It was a perfect day for this kind of thing.
