Karen Walks With, Talks With, and Feeds the Animals

We made several stops along our road trip to California. One of which was Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. It's a small but well laid-out, up-close and personal zoo, wedged into the mountain side. Here are some photos of Karen enjoying the zoo!

Karen feeds the goats.

Karen makes friends with and brushes the goats.

Karen feeds an elephant.

Karen has a meaningful conversation with a female gorilla. 

This gorilla selected Karen from the crowd, came over to sit next to her at the window, and then engaged Karen in eye-to-eye, hand-to-hand communication for about five minutes. 

All in all, it was a cool day at the "zoo with a view".

A look back at the giraffe enclosure.

Unfortunately, tickets to hand-feed and pet the alligators, lions, and bears weren't available while we were there.

Stay tuned for more Meandering Missionary Mystery Tour blogs and photos!

Sounds like a great time. Maybe you can hand feed the lions next time

You are really fortunate to be able to do so many different things on this trip. God had this planned out
