Sedgwick County Zoo

During the summer months, our zoo stays open until 8:30 on Tuesday nights. We celebrated the last late evening with a visit to the children's farm. We don't always visit this part of the zoo, but they have made some recent upgrades so the animals are kept in the pens, and you can go inside the gate and see them, instead of the way it was were humans and animals all mixed together, and there was no escaping a goat or sheep that thought you were holding back on the food pellets you can purchase out of gumball machines. (Was that sentence too long?) ANYWAY, Sam decided that he wanted to feed the goats, and for the most part they behaved until one or two became impatient, and then the "bucking" with the horns began. We then all realized why we never visit this exhibit very often!

Ben enjoyed the view from the safety of his stroller, and from behind the fence. There were a couple of goats who thought Ben might have some food on his tray and got a little too close for my comfort.
Inside the barn are a couple of wooden horses. I couldn't believe we got both boys looking at the camera and smiling!
