We headed off on another Grandma Tour on Friday with my Mom2Mom group from church. This is really small zoo that houses animals that are indigenous to the southwestern United States. The most famous resident at the zoo is Nacho the black bear. The bears came out to see us and one even backed into the water pool to cool off his hind quarters. It was at least 80 degrees that day. I hope it cools down soon. We were quite fortunate to be able to go seeing how the Corona fire started the next day and closed all the freeways to the zoo.
One of the animals at the zoo was this guy, a mule deer. I have never seen a deer up close that was growing in his antlers. It was really neat! He had several velvety prongs growing in all in a cluster. I wish this photo came out better. The chain link was hard to shoot through.
After seeing the zoo animals we went to the duck pond to feed the ducks. While feeding them this beautiful boy came over for some food as well. He walked right up to me to get some. The kids were so excited to see a peacock up close that they were closing in on him and we had to get them to back away so he could get back to his friends. We were afraid that the kids would fall into the yucky duck water. That stuff is just nasty... and I know from experience unfortunately. Ewww! Grandma C seemed to have a good time and enjoyed watching all the kids having fun. And she was very thankful that I did not lose her into the pond while pushing her wheelchair down to the edge.
