A few weeks ago, the kids and I went to the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park, AZ. If you are in the Phoenix area and have a day, this zoo is well worth the visit. (FYI: You can get half-price coupons in Hickman's egg cartons sold at Target.) The animals are so close and so awake that it is thrilling for all ages. We got there right when the zoo opened. In fact, we were the first ones in. (We were more than excited about this adventure.) Can you blame us? When I get pictures like these?
Yes, that is a lion cub awake! And yawning. So cute. And the paws were so big!
Check out this guy in the aviary.
The rhino was so close, I could have touched him if I'd just stretched out my arm a bit. I decided that I wanted to live, so I didn't.
The camels were full of chat. They moaned and groaned for a good 5 minutes before we were pulled away by the warthogs nearby. They were asleep.
I don't have a very good picture because they were moving so much, but the black leopard and the spotted leopard held our attention for a long time. They were pacing and growling and even playing. It was amazing. I've never seen a leopard awake. Ever.
We also rode the zoo train and giggled over the bird that ran alongside us.
It was a fabulous day.

Those bird pics are lovely!
BTW, I got Mingle today. I cannot wait to settle down with a nice hot cup of Earl Grey and read it. Thanks again!
