Trip to the Gulf Shores Zoo

Last week TJ decided we needed to go check out Alabama and found a little zoo in Gulf Shores. It was tiny but so cool. The highlight of the trip was the girls got to hold and interact with some Joey kangaroos. The little one Tatum is holding was tiny! The zoo keeper held open a pillow case and the kangaroo hoped into it. It was so awesome.
Both girls holding the babies
Savanna was in heaven!
It was no San Diego zoo but it sure made up for it with this!!
This is what they look like out of their "pouches"
See how tiny that little guy was
Yep huge tiger chain link fence cage...hmmm
This was another thing the girls got to do. As you entered the zoo you could purchase a cup of food and throughout the zoo their would be a sign that said "ok to feed zoo puffs" and you could feed the animals. The girls are feeding deer here. They also got to feed ducks, fish, turtles, goats and sheep.
The animals were so gentle.
Tatum loved this guy. She wanted to take him home!
It's hard to tell from the picture but the girls are on a bridge overlooking this goat compound and the giant goat put his front legs on the bridge to get closer to the little girls with food. It surprised Tatum so much that he did this she jumped back and said "He climbs! He climbs!" TJ and I were rolling.
Genesee talked to the goats
We ate at Lulu's after the zoo. It was a fun place with awesome burgers!
