Scout Saturday at Riverbanks Zoo

Jordan and I attended a scout program at the zoo. It was for both girl scouts and cub scouts. Look at all the scouts that attended.

Jordan is the back row surrounded by girls.

They did a wonderful program about customers and producers. They also had live animals for the kids to see and touch.

Did you know that a giraffe has the same number of vertebrates as a human? They are just much longer longer on a giraffe.

After the program, Jordan and I explored the zoo. There is a fake tree in the bird house we love to visit. This visit was much more eventful than our others. There was a bird on the other side of the glass that didn't like us in his tree. He kept hitting the glass with his head to get us out of the tree.

This is the view of the bird from inside the tree.

My cousin, Janet, got married at this very spot in the gardens

The monkeys put on a show for us.
