Anyway I asked Jason's sisters(Ruth Ann & Esther Mae and niece(Katelyn)) to go along. We had lots of fun. Esther Mae hadn't been there before and it had been years for Ruth Ann.. they changed a lot!
Zoo America isn't a "normal" zoo.. they don't have monkeys, lions, elephants and animals that you find in BIG zoos. They have wolves, eagles, otters, owls... all the animals in zoo America are animals that you will see in the wild in the Americas.
Carter's favorite part was the Elk.. they were huge
Owen said he liked everything! But I think he really liked the animals of the dessert exhibit the best. They had a part that was for the nocturnal animals.. that was really neat.. In it were skunks, bats, snakes of all types, foxes(those were one of Callie's faves), and a few more animals that I can't think of right now!
The river Otters were my favorite of all. They have such cute lil noses
The Wolves were really neat to watch.. there were 4 total: a black one(Dakota), a grey one(an illegal pet rescue)and a brother & sister pair that are still young(16 mths). They trotted around the exhibit for us. Callie loves dogs so this was a favorite spot for her.
After we were done, we ate a packed lunch at the zoo and then walked through a couple of favorite exhibits again and left for the Chocolate Factory tour.. a 5 min. drive which Callie fell asleep!!
Hershey Chocolate Factory was very fun! It took you on a ride through a "factory" and showed you how the chocolate was made.. from harvesting to the candy bar!! It smelled really yummy! At the end of the tour they gave a free CHOCOLATE!!!
Owen & Carter with the Super Sized bottle of Chocolate syrup!!
Aunt Ruth Ann with Callie & Katelyn & their cute lil bears she bought them!
