Ok, now that I'm off my soapbox, back to the subject. The Catoctin Zoo was small, but I was impressed with the variety of animals that there were.
When you pay to enter the zoo, you're able to buy a cup of food to feed some of the animals throughout the zoo. I jumped all over that! They had deer, goats, llamas, alpacas, pigs and a few other animals that you were able to pet/feed. Redmond is still a little too young for it....he was desperately trying to get the "doggies" (the deer, or any animal with 4 legs ☺) to give him a big open-mouthed kiss like he gets from Oliver. We intervened and didn't let that happen, btw!


Redmond's most favorite exhibit out of the entire zoo was the Koi Pond. He absolutely loved watching the fish swim around!
A close second was when we made pit stops at the little playgrounds they had set up throughout the zoo. Nice for him to get out of the stroller and run around a bit!



We saw two giant tortoises kissing....or getting ready for a brawl....
The best shot of the day - Redmond and I with a bunch of parrots and a flamingo!
So, even though some of the exhibits made me sad, hearing Redmond yell "DOGGIE" at every four-legged animal (wild cats and camels included), "GAH-GAH" (quack quack) at every type of bird we saw (including emus and flamingos) and my favorite, yelling "DADA" at the monkey exhibit really made my day!
