zoo!

so today we went on a trip to the zoo! first thing we got to do was feed the kangaroos :) they were super cute and soft and they didnt mind us petting them at all. then we went and got to pet a wombat! it was surprisingly really really cute! it was like a big, fat, hairy baby. i want one, so get ready for my next pet. then we went and saw a whole bunch of other cool australian animals like emus, wallabies, cockatoos, dingos, tazmanian devils (which apparently will eat just about anything. their jaws are 5x stronger than a dog/wolf's and they can lock it), etc. thennnn we got to go pet koalas. we didnt get to hold them though, but i plan on holding one while im in australia. then we had a farm show which was super cute. they herded some sheep with cute sheep dogs, and then they showed us how they sheer them! so cool! then they showed us some other cool things like cracking a whip thing, except that its not to whip the animals but just to make a really loud noise to get there attention. they swing it around their head a few times and then quickly change directions and the very tip whips around faster than the speed of sound creating a small sonic boom. and they showed us how they make tea by boiling water in a tin pot, putting the tea leaves in, and then spinning it over their head (like they do with pails of water and the water doesnt come out) so that the tea leaves get pushed to the bottom so they can have a clean glass of tea. then they had some kids volunteer to come up and they handed them each a bottle of milk. they said they were going to race to finish it so we all thought these kids were going to have to chug a bottle of milk! but instead all these baby sheep ran in and sucked on the bottles. it was super cute. thennnn we went to a chocolate factory and we tried free chocolate. yummmy. ohh, and the bummer is that i forgot my camera today, so i dont have any pictures! but other people do, so i'm going to steal their pictures.
