We went to Topeka a couple of weeks ago (yes I know I'm behind) to visit our close friends. Rene invited us on a special trip behind the scenes to feed the elephants. We walked back behind all the normal gates and learned a lot about how much the eat, and poop, each day. It was interesting information. Then we were invited to walk out into the elephant area to put down food for the elephants. Dont' worry, the elephants were inside while we were doing this, we were safe! We threw a lot of food on the ground including BBQ sauce straight out of the jar, packets of Jello (dry), and the "trail mix" that they love so much. After we were finished, we walked outside the bars and watched as the elephants excitedly found the food we had put down for them. I never knew that they ate BBQ or Jell0. You learn something new every day! We had a great time walking around the zoo with Jessie, Noah, and Rene. Calvin is really getting into this animal thing and trying so hard to say names or imitate sounds of the different animals. Thanks, Rene, for allowing us to experience this awesome day at the zoo with you guys. Of course Emerald talked more about playing dress-up with Jessie than she did the elephants--that figures :) Jessie is Emerald's hero and is always looking up to her!
