York's Wild Kingdom

This morning we headed off to York's Wild Animal Kingdom to see all the exotic animals that they have there and to be outside in the beautiful weather.

Once through the gate one of the first things to see was the elephant which was offering rides. The elephant's name is Lydia.

The only thing better than an elephant ride was a pony ride. Not even lions, a tiger, bears wrestling with each other or a monkey swinging around the cage with a baby holding onto her could peak Maria's interest as much as a pony ride-for her, the highlight of the day. She held on all by herself, leaving us behind to circle around with just the girl who led the pony by her side. I see an expensive hobby in our future.

I was really surprised that she was willing to feed the goats, they're pretty aggressive sometimes.
