Another try at Little Ponderosa Zoo

John and I have been to Little Ponderosa Zoo before...about 2 1/2 years ago for a classmate's 4th birthday party. It was a stressful experience for me for several reasons; missed turns, just me and John, very cold, poor parking and planning so that I had to leave John and move the car while someone came to pick up a horse or something...anyway, stressful. I really never intended to go back but there was another classmate's birthday party.

So, I held my breath and tried it again. Me and John alone again at Little Ponderosa...oooh, doesn't it just seem ominous already? Well, I missed one turn and had a car to follow part of the way so getting there wasn't so bad. I miss turns all of the time so that wasn't too bad in and of itself. We get there and the parking isn't as crazy today...good sign. The birthday girl's dad is at the door to greet us and we are on our way for a tour of the facilities. It is MUCH different now. It isn't as redneck scary as it was. Now it is more like a little redneck zoo. They do have a lot of different animals and I am not sure how or why they are all there but it is interesting. We walked around, fed some animals, rode the ponies (well, John rode the ponies), used the swing set, and went back inside for juice, chips and power ranger cupcakes. It was an enjoyable afternoon. I have included some photos of John doing cute things as well as the Zonkey they have on site. Enjoy.

Oh, and check out the crazed look in the deer's eyes in the background. It kept following us and "barking" well it was more of a belching bark. Weird.
