Lovin’ This Zoo Membership!

It’s a nice summer day and Hy-Vee is sponsoring a free lunch at the Zoo.  Let’s Go!

We loaded up the wagon this time and took a stroll through the Great Plains Zoo.  We decided to get there as early as possible in the morning figuring the animals would be out before lunch and boy were we right! MEOW!

Alexis wasn’t very into the Zoo’s mascot.  At least she gets excited over the real animals!

IMG_7272 Well, she likes the animals as long as they can’t reach through the fence and beg for food.  But Noah LOVED feeding the goats!  He kept asking for more treats and the little goats were HUNGRY!
