This weekend me and my family took a trip to a super cool zoo called Roos N More.
The zoo is out of town about an hour towards Moapa Indian Reservation.
The coolest thing about this zoo is that it is very hands on. You can hold or touch most of the animals they had there.
My daughter got to hold a baby kangaroo. How freakin awesome is that. It was so cute and soft.
The kangaroo wanted to eat her shirt.
And below is the beautiful Toucan. It was so close you could practically touch it. So amazing.
My favorite of the day was the sloth. I have been to Costa Rica a few times and have spent alot of time looking for one. They live there but can be dificult to spot. I saw one many stories up in a tree but nothing like this. We got to actually touch this one and feed it a carrot. I was in love. Sloths are really one of my favorite animals.
This next one was my daughter’s favorite I think.
The monkey was a bit rowdy but he was well behaved with the kids. He jumped on my head and tried to fight my husband but only just ate my daughter’s shoe.
Then we met one of the 2 camels they have. Somebody was nice enough to give us 2 carrots to feed it.
We told her to hold on tight.
She would not let go of the carrot. The camel took one bite and came back for more.
She really wanted to grab that ostrich egg.
The lemurs were pretty neat as well. Their hands are very interesting. They have huge pads under each finger.
The armadillo was very strange but interesting.
If you live in Vegas you should totally go check it out but call ahead, they are only open a few days a month.
That looks sooo cool you got some great shots and maddy is so cute I love the pigtails
So fun! My daughters girl scout troop had them come to our leaders house and they had so much fun. glad they left the snake at home though. they creep me out lol
Nothing like no fear.. She looks so at ease with all of the animals. you and Dave are starting something great in her. 🙂
I’ll bet you didn’t hold the snake. Some really great shots. A wonderful experience for Maddy and you and Dave.
These pictures are so freaking cute. Madi is adorable and sharp. That was a blast I fealt like a little kid myself and I know Madi will never forget this day. You did a great job Jamie. The colors are so vibrant and I love the faces the monkey made. I love you.
LOVE your pictures and would love if you would share any of them with us to post on our website! Send them to friends@roosnmore.org if you’re okay with that!
