South Carolina Zoo

We went to Riverbank Zoo one day- it is in Columbia (where Benji and Katie live), which is just about an hour from Florence, so it was a nice day trip. Benji didn't have to work, so we met for lunch then went on in. Unfortunately, Katie did have to work, so we didn't see her until we raided their apartment for dinner! (We did bring it, just used their house to heat it up and eat)

The zoo is great! There was a lot of shade, so it wasn't too hot. The animals were actually out and playing, too-always a plus!

Lovin on Uncle Benny (Benji is still a little hard to say)

"Did you see that?"

The bears were being a little aggressive.

Rachel and Uncle Benji were inseparable the whole day!

Unless Papa had her, that is... She wasn't too sure about feeding the goats.

Awesome Tiger... one of Dustin's favorite pictures he's ever taken, I think!

Cute little baby baboon!

"Excuse me!" She was watching the penguins and scooted her way in front of this couple- at least she didn't block their view!

Family picture- Rachel's hair was a complete disaster-oh well!

"Nice Kitty" Everything was kitty that day!

Getting a little sleepy

"I think we should go over here, Papa"

She tried to escape. I really wasn't upset, Dustin just caught me mid-expression.

"Follow Me!"

"Maybe we should head this way!"

She crashed in the car on the way to Benji and Katie's apartment
