Riverbank Zoo









Last month, we decided to take Adam to Riverbank Zoo in Columbia, SC. This was the first time that we had ever been to the zoo as a family. It was a great trip and we had lots of fun. I really enjoyed seeing Adam's face light up each time he saw a different animal. I think he loved the farm animals the most because he could actually touch them and get close enough to pet them. He really enjoyed getting to feed the goats. I could not believe how huge those goats were! When they stood on their hind legs, they were taller than any other human that happened to be standing near them at the time. It was so unreal. They must be a different breed of goat than what most farmers have around here. We met up with one of my best friends from high school and her family while we were down there. They live in Columbia so they came over to the zoo and walked around with us and then we ventured back to their house for a cookout. All in all, I would say we had a great day and by the time we drove back home that evening, we were all tired and ready to hit the bed.











Here is a picture of Cynthia(my friend), Emma Jean(Cynthia's daughter), and me. Nevermind that I was sweating to death and by that point had to pull what hair I had up into a small ponytail. It felt so humid down there and I swear that it is a lot hotter in Columbia than here in the upstate.




This was right after a goat took the feed out of Adam's hand. He was laughing because it tickled the inside of his hand.
