Sheep Coming Close For a Meet & Greet
DON”T YOU JUST LOVE THEM?
Their picture makes me as thrilled and happy to look at as when they all suddenly hoofed quite hurriedly over to say hello – it was a very moving welcome indeed!
Had an awe inspiring, and engaging experience at the L.A. Zoo the other day – a great time to go now that many of the kids are back to school, so it wasn’t crowded at all. But that is precisely why you MUST make plans to go soon – the animals need our support! Over 11oo animal friends from all around the world call this park home. There is very special care taken with each of them and they live in some pretty elaborate digs, so it is obviously very costly to run – the hippo alone eats 90 pounds of lettuce a day, can you believe it? Some very unique and rare species live there, and some of them have some extra special needs.
At only $12 for adults, $9 for seniors, $7 for kids 2-12 and free for the under two set, you receive a whole day of educative entertainment as you enjoy walking (or tramming) around the vast expanse of land that seems to be so lovingly cared for, and taking in all the gorgeous sites, scents and sounds of your favorites in the animal kingdom. It will give you the opportunity to tap into your inner Dr. Doolittle, as well as get some fabulous candids just like the ones above. All while assisting the zoo in maintaining their high standards so these animals can continue to thrive. (Another win/win!)
I wish we could have stayed longer to just be with them, watch and listen – this particular mission was for more of a human social visit and it was a fun way to spend time with one another – next time though maybe we will spend a bit more time visiting and taking pleasure in the fine company of the parks inhabitants. Just sit, observe, listen or talk with them- they seemed to enjoy the company.
So wake your kids up early Saturday and head on over to the L.A. Zoo for a fascinating fun-filled frolic filled with fur, fins and feathers!
