It has been Spring Break this week and we took a day trip to Austin on Friday. We had a great day together. We went to the Austin Zoo, Quacks Bakery, the Round Rock Outlet Mall and to Razzoo's for dinner. All in all, it was a great day.
The Austin Zoo is different from most zoos. It is a rescue zoo for animals that were household pets that ended up abandonned or circus animals that were rescued from inhuman conditions. Blaine took some pictures along the way yesterday. Here is a photo of Bandit, a three legged wolf whose ownders' didn't take care of an injured leg that had to be amputated. There were about eight lions being kept at the zoo, some who were household pets and others from the circus. There were tigers, bears, monkeys, snakes, and many more animals. We rode a little train around the area. The zoo is located very much off the beaten path, towards the hill country area. It was a great day to be outside walking around enjoying the sunshine.
