My Favorite Zoo

Maybe we arrive just at feeding time!?? So you know, that's 4p at the Ellen Trout Zoo in Lufkin, Texas. The animals are active!! And after about 100 miles, our girls are active too!!! The path is mostly shaded and the sidewalks are covered with leaf prints...

The Hippos are a favorite!! They actually came and kissed the window with our visit!!

The otters are always playing in their water... even though they are quite smelly!!

The rhino came out to see us!! We only saw maybe 2 or 3 other families in our visit.. so maybe they noticed us!!??! After our pics he retired out of sight.

Another highlight is their peacocks are all over the zoo!! On our first visit, I thought these birds escaped!!! Not, they wander freely!! We've collected peacock feathers. This November we even saw half grown ones...

If you are ever heading thru Lufkin... take a road stop at the Ellen Trout Zoo!!! It makes a great escape from the car for our girls!! Then it is another 100 miles!!!

Grace!! ss
