Lions, tigers and a bear...oh my!


We made our first trip to the Austin Zoo and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. One of the first set of cages we wandered onto housed the mighty tigers. They were HUGE. I kept thinking about their huge teeth and wondered if they could jump the fence. Signs were posted everywhere to not taunt the animals...hmmmmmmm...wouldn't think of it! We quickly and nicely posed for a photo because it was our first trip to the zoo and we had to capture the moment. When we came across the lion cage one of them was roaring...and I mean he paced and roared (like Ava did when she was a lioness for Halloween) loudly. It was scary! The bear was small and cute although we couldn't get very close. The peacocks roam the grounds and are absolutely beautiful. We went into the petting cage to feed the goats, but Ava was napping by then. It was a good day! Can't wait to return when she is older and knows what is going on!
