Riverbanks Zoo, Columbia, SC

For those of you who know me well, you know I LOVE zoos. I bought our family a zoo membership to the zoo in Waco, TX, so that we could visit the Riverbanks Zoo as often as we wanted for FREE! What a deal! In fact, I am going tomorrow all by myself and enjoy the animals, flora and fauna.

The three of us got to go to Riverbanks Zoo on August 2. It was a beautiful day, and the animals were extremely active. Here are some of our pictures. 

  

A llama and a cow from the farm section.

   

Elephants are my favorites. They are lovely! They were throwing water and mud on their backs trying to keep cool as well as flapping their ears.

Chillin' bear...

    

We fed the cute lorakeets. They were so sweet and very hungry.

A roaming tiger!

The koalas were wide away and running all over the place. We watched them for quite a while.

             

The flamingos hadn't quite waked up yet.

Baby flamingos!!! They were so vocal and adorable.

Frilled Dragon sunning himself...

Gould's Monitor...one of Victoria's favorites!

That's it for now. Thanks for your encouraging e-mails. 

We have a few prayer requests to make. 

Michael has his final PT test tomorrow. Please pray that he does well and meets his goals. 

Victoria is in MT for camp. We pray she is kept safe and has a great time.

We have 3 weeks and 2 days left here. Michael begins Phase 3 of the chaplaincy school tomorrow. We pray his homework load is lessoned.

Please pray for our soldiers who are deployed and those preparing for deployment.

Until next time, God bless!
