Columbia Zoo

On our way home, we stopped at the Columbia, South Carolina Riverbanks Zoo so we could break up the trip a little bit. Since we're members of the zoo at home, we got into this zoo for free--great perk if you ask me! All three of us loved this zoo!

They had exhibit where you walk through this little area with kangaroos and wallabies--kind of like a petting zoo but you weren't supposed to actually pet them! It was really neat to be that close to them!There were five kangaroos and wallabies resting in the shade. Luke kept calling them 'dog'!

This big fella is a HUGE gorilla! Cory and I were the most excited to see him! He was sleeping too, but at least we got to see him up close!

Another really neat animal--the sloth!
And the best part about the whole zoo was the giraffes because you could actually feed and pet them! Look how close this giraffe came to us!

Cory tried to pet him!
And Luke decided he didn't like being THAT close to the giraffe!
It was a fun little zoo visit! And Luke was completely exhausted when we left which made the trip home even easier!
