A Day Trip To Binder Park Zoo

Since we aren't camping as much as usual this summer (packing for an infant is a pain) we thought we'd do a few day trips with Joshua to make his summer special. Cory took Tuesday off and we traveled down to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. We hit the Wild Africa portion of the zoo first, then the children's zoo and then finally checked out the rest of the zoo. Even though the Wild Africa area involved a lot of walking Joshua loved every minute of it! It was so neat to see the animals all out on the "plains" instead of in cages. He loved the zebras and giraffes espcially and even got to feed some giraffes lettuce! Other highlights from our day included taking a tram ride and a train ride around the zoo as well as a carosoal ride. Matthew was a trooper and did very well being chauffered in the stroller for a majority of the day. It was a great day and we know Joshua will have many fun memories as will we since he keeps talking about his trip to the zoo!
