As soon as the kids finished eating, one of the zookeepers brought out a frog and a rooster. The frog was supposed to demonstrate how he eats worms, but he seemed sleepy. Then, the kids were told to hide live worms in corn meal so the rooster could look for them and eat them. Ew. k wisely refused to do this. I don't blame her.
Then we fed some ducks some lettuce. Apparently it is better for them than bread.
k had the most fun feeding the goats.
The zookeeper who led the program was the same one we saw at the Wayzgoose festival. I think D has a better memory for faces because he instantly recognized her. This actually happens quite often.
D just realized that he likes jacaranda trees.
For the most part, k seemed a little scared of the animals, although she did pet a pig. We weren't too impressed with the range of animals, aside from the monkeys. However, I do think it was interesting for k to see live examples of all the animals that she has heretofore only seen in picture books. We'll have to go to LA and SD zoos so she can see the bigger animals, like lions, tigers and bears! :)
Afterward we went to Jerry's Woodfired Dogs. We each got a dog and split two sides among the four of us.
You can have as many toppings on as you want put on, so D and I went all out, as can be seen. I guess the picture makes it look like we had a salad instead of hot dogs. They were quite good, and we all enjoyed the potato chips, which actually tasted kind of like fries, right out of the fryer. Yum.

What did k eat? Can't wait to try those hot dogs!
I brought along milk, bread, and a frozen mango cup. She also ate some of our veggies and a couple of potato chips!
Has D ever seen the mess Jacaranda trees make?
