The Decatur Zoo: Daddy Style

Eli the ferocious lizard boy
Nate: The happy boy being eaten by the ferocious lizard
This peacock had a thing for me! It followed me around and fluffed out its feathers for about 30 minutes!
No children should be this close to a cranky looking alligator! Seriously, Nate could climb that fence in 2.2 seconds and he did try!

We went back to the Scovill Zoo this time with Sam in tow! It was a great day! All of the animals were out and active. We saw cheetahs, camels, that scary alligator, my true love the peacock, and zebras! In the petting zoo when we put a quarter in the food dispenser we were swarmed by 25 apparently underfed pygmie goats. I thought they were going to eat Nate... he would be squishy and delicious! We road the train around the park and had a fun picnic lunch before heading home! I love these little treasures in Illinois!

Great little zoo. Was there a mote or something between that puny fence and people? If not, I agree, some day, some kid is going to be lunch. You must have been even prettier than normal for the peacock to fall for you like that. Love these pictures.
