Saturday we decided to start the day off by visiting the Natural Bridge Zoo. We got there just as it started to rain. Thankfully it only rained for a few minutes and we were able to go and check out the animals. The rain helped cool it down it was another beautiful day. The highlight for me was feeding the giraffe's, for Ed and Christian it was the Humongous elephant that we rode! Yes that is right we rode an elephant. I was teriffied and the pictures will show it. Ed & Christian loved it and as you will see actually rode the elephant again. I will mark this down as something I have accomplished but one thing that I don't plan on doing again!
Waiting for the rain to pass
Checking out the alligator
So excited to feed the animals. Chrisitan was not scared at all!
Grandma & Benjamin taking a break Ed feeding the girafee- they had this huge fence with about 5 giraffes behind it. Their necks were just long enough to reach over and grab the food you were holding for them. I really enjoyed this it was probably one of my favorite things from the zoo!
