Kobe Ogi Zoo

Today was an off day for Scott so we decided to go to the zoo.  Callie really seems to enjoy watching the animals on Animal Planet, and she has a couple of Baby Einstein videos with animals and she loves them too.  So we thought she would really get a kick out of the zoo.

The zoo is a short train ride away so it was easy to get to.  It's a pretty big zoo, but we only saw about half of it today.  It was another hot and really humid day.  All three of us were pretty sweaty by the time we made the walk from the train station to the zoo entrance.  

Callie really loved the zoo.  The first little area we went into was kind of like a petting zoo.  There were a couple of goats laying around, a rooster, and some of the biggest bunnies I have ever seen.  Callie was talking to all the animals and if we would have let her, she would have tried to touch them all.

The best part of the zoo was the Big Cats exhibit.  There were these windows that the cats were walking right up next to.  The Tiger looked like he was going to give us a big kiss through the window, he could get so close.

We will definitely be going back soon to see the rest of the zoo, we all had a blast!

The zoo is always fun! Sounds like the Atchison's are having a great adventure in Japan. I can't believe how big Callie is getting!
