Rolling Hills Zoo

 Who knew Salina had such a cool zoo?  We sure didn't!  Today, we took the kids to Rolling Hills Zoo.  It was hot.  We didn't get quite through the whole zoo but we were so impressed with all of the animals they had!  Ava wanted to see elephants, which we didn't see and don't even know if they have, but other than that and the polar bear - they have almost everything major that KC Zoo has! 

little man was very uninterested in his first zoo trip :)
 snow leopards
 my favorite was the cougar!  don't you just want to take her home? :)
 rawr!
 we actually got to watch this siberian tiger and the white tiger, Raja, get in a fight!  it was very cool, but ava wasn't as amused as we were. 
 we think she liked us!  she came over to hang out until we left..







 ava's "puppy".. also known as a timberwolf.  definitely do NOT want to take him home.
 two male lions!

 ava desperately wanted to feed the goats.  usually she's fed little billy goats, but this guy was a bit bigger!  she was fearless!

Ava absolutely adores her brother!  She is always asking to hold him, carry him (agh! nooooo!!), kiss him, feed him, etc.  What a good big sister!
