Tanganyika

We had a nice day last week that allowed us to get out

as a family and do something fun together.

The zoo was filled with about 2.5 million people

so we opted for something smaller, and cooler.

Tanganyika

It's only 50 cents more than the zoo, and you are able

to interact with and feed most of the animals.

Good for a one time trip, but if you've seen it once

you've seen it all.

We were able to feed these cool birds.

LOVE their colors.

This little guy stayed busy trying to pounce on the poor

worker that was trying to give him water.

This was by far my favorite part.

You can interact and feed the kangaroos.

Judah loved it. The little joey's were so cute.

This one, of many, actually, was asleep.

Or tanning.

Judah really liked getting in with the tortoises.

Though, I have to say, I thought they were nasty.

Slightly stinky, and that sand is just a glorified cat box.

Or tortoise box.

If you have seen Madagascar, you will be thrilled to know

they have Lemurs...

...and the Dreaded Fossa.

It was highly entertaining to watch them hop and swing about.

When we came near they got into a "lemur ball", where they

all gather togther and cover themselves with their tails so you can only see their eyes.

Pretty stinking cute.
