Popcorn Park Zoo

On Friday Stu, Brandon, and I went to the Popcorn Park Zoo. Stu's parents came with us. It was my first time going to that zoo. It was great. The animals are all up close and most can be fed popcorn. All of the animals at the zoo were either abandoned, injured, or abused. They had tigers, lions, bears, camels, deer, goats, horses, cows, birds, and some other animals. Peacocks, geese, and ducks roam free in the zoo. Brandon loved running up to them and trying to catch them. The only downside to our trip to the zoo is Brandon's hand was stepped on by a goat. He was hysterical and it was a big goat so it must have really hurt. The good thing is he didn't break his hand or fingers from the weight of the goat. Brandon had his hand on the fence and the goat pulled to stand so that its back legs were on the ground and its front legs were on the fence. He put one of his front legs right on Brandon's hand.


This was the goat that landed on Brandon's hand- right before it happened Brandon was smiling at the goat

It looks like he had a great time, despite the goat stepping on his hand.
