We couldn't have visited the zoo on a more perfect day. The sun was out but the weather was cool and there was just enough breeze to keep things comfortable throughout the day! The gardens at the zoo were in full bloom! We couldn't resist getting a picture of Jessica among the giant day lilies that had blossomed over the weekend! The Gulf Shores zoo had a variety of animals who all seemed quite a bit more friendly than I had ever seen at any other zoo. The paved walkway allowed for us to visit each area up close and personal.
Even the llamas were interested enough in the container of food Jessica carried around with her that they came right up to the fence and stretched their necks out far enough for us to pet them. As part of the entrance fee each guest was given a cup of food upon entering the zoo. The animals would literally eat out of Jessica's hand and sometimes even right out of her cup! The camels were the most aggressive and the llamas were the most gentle. Hence the reason we stayed there as long as we did. I don't know how many times Jessica asked if we could take one home. Probably as many times as I said back to her, "But it's a llama!"
