Lisa and Roni Coming (HERE) in America!

The first day of the Roni and Lisa take on America trip included a visit to the zoo

The girls enjoyed feeding Eddie the giraffe sweet potatoes


Posing with the flamingos

And watching the dolphin show

At 11:30 we headed to the elephant bathing demo

And a surprise visit to the barn for elephant rides

Now that Madison is 7 she FINALLY rode Tombi the elephant (of course it took a bit of bribing to get her to actually let Tombi walk around the barn)

She was so excited to ride with Aunt Niki and her elephant Tombi

Coming down was a bit scary but Madi did great.

Next, it was Roni's turn.






She was so excited to ride



Look, at that smile!

A wave for the audience (her Mum and Madison)


As a thank you for being such a great rider, Tombi painted Roni a picture

Roni selected Pink, Yellow, and Purple as her colors

It was beautiful!

Thanks Tombi for the picture.

Both girls after their ride- boy were they happy girls!


Just one more rider,
"Oh My Gawd!"


Lisa- on Tombi


A walk in the barn

When the ride was done...


It was a great day at the zoo. Just 6 more days to go.
