Abilene Zoo

Yesterday Chance and I went to the Abilene zoo. Oh yeah, we are in Abilene, Texas with Scott while he is working here for the next two weeks. We arrived in Abilene on Friday and while Scott was working Saturday and Sunday Chance and I stayed at the hotel where we hung out and went in the pool even though the water is pretty cold as far as I am concerned Chance doesn't seem to notice so he played in the pool for two hours on Sunday. Anyway, on monday we went to the zoo.

The zoo here is small but inexpensive and they do a good job making up for their size by offering special things that other zoos don't such as feeding giraffes! They had a bridge the went over the giraffe habitat when we climbed to the top we were able to hold crackers through the fence and the giraffes would come eat them right out of our hands.(see first picture) I had never fed a giraffe before so this was pretty cool for both of us.
The zoo was bordered on one side by a lake which had a ton of fish in it that were jumping over each other to get some of the fish food we were thawing in for them to eat. I am not sure why they were doing this, it was kind of strange, you can see in the second picture all the fish waiting for the kids to drop in some food.

Another animal we we able to get up close with was the peacock who was wondering around the zoo. At one point he walked over to where we were sitting and fanned out his tails feathers. I guess he really liked us.
This last picture is one we took in front of the Abilene Zoo sign but all the good ones cut out the word zoo.
