on the hunt for a zoo in Saratoga county

It started out a quick trip down 29 just to check out the road that we live on. We rode out past the apple orchards which are blooming nicely, then into Schuylerville to see the Zoo sign. We decided to follow it for the second day in a row. It's fun on the hunt for a place you know nothing about in a land you've never been in. The day before we had done the same thing, following a different set of Zoo signs, and it led us to a roadside yard sale with no seller. We picked up some wet plates and cups and left a couple of bucks and a note stuck in a door. We saw some farm land and neat lawn decorations and the weird way other people live out in the country. I love it by the way and can't wait to live in the country someday myself.

So here's one of the signs

Kinda makes you feel like what you're about to find is going to be very different from any zoo you've ever been to before.

We got lost of course cause the signs were so small we missed them several times, but we found other stuff...

A tire pile with compost underneath

Wildflowers

That's the kind of lake fun I want on my property when I have property

Amaizing corn.

Then we finally found it after stopping to breastfeed a bit!

But alas, it was $11.00 per adult and we only had $5! But what a cool looking zoo! It's like if I were to have all of these animals in my backyard, that's what it would look like. The peacocks were roaming, the crocodiles were behind chickenwire, ring-tailed lemurs caressed my hand, and handmade signs and gnome statues were everywhere. We are going back for sure!

Kinda glad we didn't go in cause about 10 minutes after we left: downpour!
