Another day, another zoo

Normally after a bad experience like our last zoo trip I would be hesitant to go back to the zoo so soon, but Dad and I had to go to the Louisville Zoo on Tuesday to pick up a monkey. We didn't stay too long, but Dad's friend is the head zoo veterinarian and he has an all access pass to the cool exhibits so we were luck to get the VIP tour. He took us to see the White Rhinos and I got to feed one of them hay and even touched a rhino horn! Better yet, I got to be close up and personal with a 3 year old elephant calf who likes jelly beans. It was lots of fun and Dad and I enjoyed not having to look at the animals from a distance. We also saw camels, giraffes and lions, although I had no direct contact with the lions. I roared at them and they all ran into their indoor enclosures. I guess all the practice roaring really has paid off. - G.
