We had heard good things about the nearby Opel Zoo and since the kids and David still have off this week, we decided to check it out.
There are carrots and boxes of pellet food you can buy to feed many of the animals, like these very hairy camels. A lot of people brought carrots and bread from home, too, to feed to them.
A rather scary-looking meerkat
"If I could talk to the animals....just imagine it...."
Just seconds before the ostrich tried to make off with a piece of James' hand
We all loved the coloring of these ducks.
There was a large petting zoo full of donkeys, sheep and goats.
Along with all the zoo animals were all the family dogs people brought with them. I should not have been shocked by that, but I was. Bringing a dog to the zoo? I guess who's to say that a dog wouldn't enjoy it?
This picture does not do justice to just how big this slide was. It was another case of "You would never see this in the U.S.!"
8 seconds, James.
David giving the kids a spin
The kids all look like they're riding a huge record on these disks
Another strange-looking spinning see-saw thingy. The awesome playground was worth the price of admission.
