a visit to the zoo
Good Morning and have a great day
I have visited the bouttonwood park a few times this year, I bought a season park ticket and making the most of it
Its not a big zoo, but a nice one and close to where i live, I have planned to visit the bigger zoo in Providence RI but havent made it there yet, but for now happy with visiting the local zoo which I have done a few times recently
let me start with this bison, I was luckily enough to be at the zoo after it had bene running around chasing one of the deer, and then felt like it needed a rest and lay down and took a rest
Dont worry he is fine and after a couple of minutes was up walking around again
