Palm Springs Zoo

We took a trip to the desert with Daddy for his work conference, and rode this camel the whole way there!

OK, not really, but we did have fun riding it at the Palm Springs Living Desert Zoo.  We also fed the giraffes...

And rode the endangered species merry-go-round.  Tommy loved riding the rhino...

And I liked my sweet little deer.

We brushed some goats and sheep in the petting area...

But Tommy's favorite thing there wasn't the animals. It was this HUGE model railroad.  I thought it was pretty cool too, but he was transfixed!

 Aren't we sweet little hatchlings?

We also saw a really cool wildlife show.  This African cat is called a serval, and this is a giant porcupine.  It was cool to see these animals so close up.  We also had an owl and hawk fly right over our heads during the show!

At the end this very well-mannered parrot told us goodbye.
