Roos N More

My mom took us to a zoo out in Moapa. The owners are husband and wife veterinarians. We were thinking it might be a little hokey but after going it was the best petting zoo I have ever been to. They let you hold almost every animal there. There was not many people so my kids got an enormous amount of time with the animals. Avery couldn't get enough, and Kasen was a little more apprehensive. They had a really cute monkey that the kids held. He liked to play peek-a-boo in Avery's shirt.

It was really neat for me as well because the variety of animals were huge. They had animals that I have only seen in pics like the armadillo. As soon as Kasen held it, it would roll in a ball and when he put it on the ground it would open. I noticed that they had really hairy legs. Kam didn't really want to share his stroller with the monkey and kept giving him the evil eye. The camel they had ate a carrot right out of Kasen's mouth. He just started to laugh.

This place had goats, tortoises, otters, guinea pigs, kangaroos, Zebra, Zedonk, opossum, monkeys, animals that I can't even pronounce their names. The trainer sat the kangaroo down and lets us see in the pouch and feel it. It was so cool. I could ramble on forever, but in short we had and amazing and fun experience with the animals.

you take your kids to do some really cool stuff. Must be in the running for Super Mom! I couldn't tell that was a camel until I read the post!
