My favorite exhibit at the zoo is for the Galapagos Tortoises. I love tortoises and turtles and just think these giant creatures are amazing. This is usually the first exhibit we go to because sometimes they are put inside early to stay warm. On this visit we went there first too and I'm glad we did. We met a nice zoo keeper that told us all about the tortoises and then let us pet them. I can't even begin to express how excited I was. It was a dream come true. We learned they like to be scratched on their throats. We all had an opportunity to pet the tortoises and it was awesome. Now I just need to visit the Galapagos Islands to complete my dream.
Can you tell how happy I am? It was amazing!

Rich tried to help Ava pet one of the tortoises, but she didn't want to. That is as close as she wanted to get.
This is Winston. He is a famous tortoise. We were told that Steven Spielberg used him as a model for one of his well known movies. Can you figure it out? I knew right away.
I was able to convince Ava to sit on the tortoise statue with me.
Ava didn't mind petting and playing with the fake tortoise.
