Folsom Zoo

Rich had today off for the 4th of July, so we decided to go to The Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary. This is a small zoo that is the home to rescued animals that can not be released back into the wild and illegal pets that were confiscated. They have a variety of animals from monkeys to birds to mountain lions.

When we arrived Ava was pretty tired, so we weren't sure if she would enjoy it. She did great, but was not that interested in the animals. She did notice the tiger and bear because they were moving around. Many of the other animals were resting or hiding, so they did not get her attention. I thought it was funny that Ava was most interested in watching all the other people at the zoo.
I thought this sign was funny. I actually only saw 3 wolves, so I guess that means I am elk jerky.There are a lot of peacocks running around the zoo making all kinds of noise. We even saw a mommy with her two babies. One of the babies is a white peacock.Rich is holding Ava so she can get a better look at the black bear.Ava checking out a black tailed deer resting near the fence.Those bear cubs look familiar...oh that's just Rich and Ava.Mommy and Ava checking out the tiger.
