So today Mama, Daddy, and Josie got to spend the day together. It was raining here (the third time maybe since we moved here??) and so we decided to go inland to the Wild Animal Park. Josie loves identifying animals, although she's better with the farm variety than the African savannah variety. But whether it's a goose, an egret, a flamingo or a California condor, Josie gets very excited and yells BIRD!!! She moves too fast these days to take many photos (at least non-blurry photos), but here's what I was able to get.
One of the African elephants had a baby about a month ago - the baby and mama were in the more private eating/sleeping area. At the Wild Animal Park, the animals have a ton of space to roam around - like acres. So don't feel bad for them, they don't live right here.
So then Josie loves going to the "petting zoo" portion, where there are a bunch of gazelles that act very much like our own Ruby. I wonder if people in Zaire or wherever these animals are from (yes, I know how ignorant that sounds, sorry) keep these guys as pets?
Well, one liked Josie and was licking her hand and face. And of course she petted them like crazy and before I could get her hands washed off.....
Yup, thumb in the mouth. I just checked on her sleeping and she's not covered in green pox. Hopefully it will say that way.
