Monday was zoo day. We started off feeding the giraffes. The Palm Springs zoo is much more spread out than the Santa Barbara Zoo. By 11a it was pretty hot. There was not much shade. One thing that the zoo had that I wish SB zoo had was a petting pen. There were a dozen or so goats and sheep to pet and brush. Lucy really liked petting the goats until one of them butted her and she sat down hard. No more pet goat. Max spent a bunch of time quizzing the volunteer attendant on the names of each of the goats. His favorite was named Chocolate. Lucy was a bit disappointed because the Meerkats were set far back so she could not get close. At the SB Zoo they are behind glass that she can get right up close to them.
