Popcorn Park Zoo

On August 30,2008 Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, Daddy and Jake went to Popcorn Park Zoo! Years ago when Mommy was a kid this was a place where the mamed animals that the zoo rescued actually walked amongst the visitors who fed them well Popcorn of course! So we thought Jake would get such a kick out of this! Unfortunately, I guess probably due to insurance requirements, with the exception of a rooster or two and some geese, the animals are all behind fences. You can definitely feed them but they no longer walk right up to you! Jake didn't seem to mind though...he had himself some fun feeding the animals and sneeking a piece of popcorn or two for himself in the process!

Grandma, Grandpa and Jake fed some peanuts to the goats!
Jake got a kick out of feeding the deer popcorn right out of his little had! They were truly gentle and he still had all his fingers when he was done!
The geese just wandered by as we toured the zoo!
Jake banged on the gate with his "come here" signal to get the goat to come have some peanuts that Grandpa was offering up!
