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.
