There were several animals to see: barnyard animals, exotic birds, monkeys, tigers, leopards, zebras, and more. William liked feeding the barnyard animals best of all.

| Don't know if you can see it or not, but that's a tiger back there. |

| I've seen an ostrich before but maybe not this close. I actually fed this one. The fence was big enough for him to stick his neck through which was a bit diconcerting becasue he really was a massive bird. |

| William was fascinated by the little silk worm he found crawling along the picnic table. |
There are very few good things I can say about this time when Russ is in TN and William and I are in NC. The only thing I can say I heartily enjoy is when I’m in TN for the weekend and we have the freedom to go exploring. A few weekends ago we went to “The Creation Kingdom” in VA. It’s only about 30 min away from where we are. It’s only been around for about a year and it’s basically a very small private zoo. I really couldn’t believe how ramshackled it was but the animals looked very healthy and active so I guess it was okay. We enjoyed looking at the animals and feeding them.
