Chattanooga Zoo

Wednesday we took a trip to the Chattanooga Zoo with the children's and preschool department from church. It was REALLY hot, but we had a good time. Thankfully, the zoo in Chattanooga is small, so we were pretty much done by lunchtime. Jaybird had more fun spending time with his little friends than seeing the animals, I think. :) Here's some pictures from the petting/feeding area of the zoo.....

Here's a group shot of Jaybird and some of his little buddies.

This is a really close up of a cougar. It was pretty cool to be that close to it! And, yes, it was alive....it was very sleepy, but not dead. :)

Sara Grace really liked the cougar. I think it was mostly because she could actually see it pretty well because it was on her level, unlike most of the other animals. She kept saying "woof woof" to it, though. In her world right now, most furry animals with four legs bark. At least she's categorizing....she doesn't bark at people! :)
