We had a really fun outing with Randi & Brenna to the Austin Zoo and Sanctuary. All of the girls are wild about animals and so it seemed like the perfect adventure. We enjoyed our time there and let the girls explore and observe to their little hearts content. It's a neat little zoo because it started out as a goat ranch in 1990 and has now evolved into this animal sanctuary. Per their website "due to the growth of roadside zoos and private ownership of exotic
animals, along with the release of older animals from big city zoos to
smaller facilities, the number of animals in need of a safe and healthy
home has multiplied at a rapid rate." So there are currently over 300 animals from over 100 different species at the Zoo.
It was a really fun day with gorgeous weather and camera happy kiddo's AND animals. Enjoy the highlights.
The Tortoises
The Lions
Once we got to the roaring/coughing lions, Lexi became a nervous-nelly and climbed into the stroller for safety. As you see from the pics above, Brenna and Savannah were not the slightest bit nervous as they observed from 10 ft away.
Nearly an hour later Lexi did get back
out to explore only after Auntie Randi held her and prompted her to see the
rooster and chickens.
Those sweet girls. I think Savannah, and Brenna were eager to climb in the cages with the animals. Lexi does look a bit more timid. It melts my heart to see the girls cuddling up to auntie's, and having such a great time together.
