Hanging with the animals





On Tuesday, the girls and I rode our bikes to the Willow Park Zoo, here in Logan. For those of you who are familiar to the Willow Park Zoo, please forgive the following. The Willow Park Zoo is the smallest zoo I have ever been to (lots smaller than the Chaffee Zoo if you can imagine). It is more like a really small fenced area where some animals are kept in cages for the adoring public to look at. (Just for a guage of the size of it... it costs 50 cents for children and 1 dollar for adults to get in!)

The zoo has lots of birds, a few monkeys (a recent addition), some coyotes, bobcats, and raccoons, a fox, some deer, a porcupine and... my girls favorite... a chipmunk. Yes, our Zoo is not much compared to the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park we used to frequent... but we like it.




So, before it got too hot on Tuesday, we rode our bikes to the park outside the Zoo and played for a while. There was only one other family there, which was really nice! Then we went into the Zoo and walked around for about 30 minutes looking at all the animals. When we had seen everything we wanted to see, we rode home. It was a very enjoyable morning and the girls really had fun.
