Little Ponderosa Zoo

Friday morning we went to the Little Ponderosa Zoo in Clinton. Big Papaw, Uncle Jared, Papaw Woody and Mamaw Peggy joined us for a fun day. The kids enjoyed the day as did the adults. We saw birds, monkeys, porcupines, snakes, lemurs, tigers, deers, sheep, kangaroo, wallaby, hyena, emu, llamas, zonkey, ostrich, african antelope, wolves, goats, and a few other animals. Majority of the animals are rescue animals. Brock had no fear of the animals and immediately feed the ones we could. Keira was a little more hesistant, but eventually began feeding them. Some animals are on a special diet, but you could feed several of them.
Big Papaw got a kick out of using his cane to poke at the Ostrich, no harm done! He used the cane to hit a shed that the zonkey and 2 other animals were feeding in. But, they did not come out. Then, he got the wolves stirred up by using his cane and running towards them. He thought it was quite comical. The wolves did not and actually one of them came towards him ready to attack. The hair on his back was standing up! I kept waiting for us to get kicked out as I saw signs about cameras up and watching. Gotta love him!
The camel took the cup from Keira and Jared had to reach way up and get it back! It was so funny! Previously, the camel had taken Brock's cup from him. We had such a good time and the kids couldn't wait to tell daddy what all they did. A place we will visit again!
