My goodness blogging is hard these days! But I'm playing catch up for Kinley's scrapbook.
On Saturday we decided to visit a local zoo. I was so impressed at the animals they had for this being such a small area. I encourage you to go if you live in NWA. It was a fun outting!
They had a small area set up as a petting zoo with goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys and ducks.
We were able to walk by some animals fenced in and Kinley seemed to like naming all the animals.
"Hello namels!"
There was also an area where you drive your car through the "wilderness". I just knew Kinley would like being able to see a variety of animals, but she was more concerned at pointing out the grass, trees and rocks! I guess she is only 18 months old :)
During the drive through portion we met some friendly ostriches. (is that supposed to be plural? oh well.) I am certain this ostrich would have climbed in the car with us if I opened the door. He was not shy to say the least. There was a sign that said keep your windows up. I was so puzzled at that until I met Mr. Ostrich! He was wanting Kinley to share her goldfish!
In this picture you can see the corner of the rear view mirror to get an idea of how close he was! Yikes!
This zebra was kind of nosey too, but a little less abrasive than the ostrich. So neat!
You can really tell in the picture but this kangaroo had her roo in her pouch! It was so cute!
Zach and I learned that we weren't as keen on knowing names of animals as we thought. Here were two we had to look up when we got home. Got any guesses?!
Here's a couple pics I snapped for the grandmas! Happy Mother's Day!

We are going here later in June!! Cute pics and if you don't mind me asking, how much was it for you all to go? Did you/Kinley enjoy it?
That is so fun! We love that zoo and we are actually taking the kids there tomorrow. It is great to have a place the kids can go and see animals that is close to us. I bet Kinley had a great time. By the way she is precious.

I think the Gentry safari is fabulous. Kinley is gorgeous as ever, but that poor ostrich is one ugly bird! I don't know what I would have done if it was that close to me!!
How FUn! That ostrich is a little scary.. birds freak me out a little...especially these chickens..they stare too much.
Ok those are yaks and a prarie dog?? or water buffalo?
What a great place!! And I can tell how much she loves it! What a precious little girl!
we've been meaning to go there but havent made it! a friend of my sis's family actually own it (i think, or manage???) we'll make it there some day. love the pics of kinley! super cute!!!

I LOVE that place. I bet I have been there more than 20 times. It gets better every year. Kinley is so pretty!
