Last month when the Phillips cousins were here, the kids entered a birthday card contest for the bear at the zoo. Well.......Emma and Megan won! Yeah! The prize was a behind-the-scenes tour of the carnivores at the zoo. Laura's family happened to be visiting this weekend, too, so we had lots of fun with all of the little girl cousins (sorry, Katherine! You're not one of the little girls anymore!).
The girls loved spraying the bear and he loved being sprayed! He danced around at first and then just came closer so they could get him wetter. If bears could purr, I swear he would have!
We got a great view of the bears and cougars as we walked up between their cages to see how they feed them. The cougar hissed at us constantly! She
did not like us being in her territory!
The kids loved watching the zookeeper, Shawna, play with the coyotes. She has raised them since birth, so they think she's their mommy. They acted just like puppies with her, but they're far from tame!
It was 96 degrees and a two-hour tour, so by the time it was over, we were a little tired, but it was a great day.
