Curtis' Field Trip to Cameron Park Zoo

Curtis' last field trip of 1st grade was to Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. We had never been to this zoo, and we thought it was a little strange to come here with Ft Worth Zoo being so close to us. Cameron Park had some nice surprises, like getting to see a baby orangutan being bottle-fed, an island full of lemurs, and some animals I had never seen before. I hung out with Curtis and his good friend Payton.


These were such strange animals that looked straight
out of "The Princess Bride"


This duck gave everyone attitude that walked by.
Curtis decided to talk back. :)

This was a fun little area to watch the crocodiles

Not a great picture, but funny to remember this
random little dude that latched onto Curtis' back each
time he came down the otter slide. Curtis didn't mind
at all.


Curtis always loves looking at the snakes.
This one was huge.

Hard to see Komodo Dragon


This big orangutan put on quite a show swinging all
around. The kids got face to face with him

Watching the baby orangutan's feeding. The woman was
wearing a garment with felt strips all over to resemble
its momma. They had to separate the baby from the mom
because she was hurting him. 

Curtis thought this guy should come home with us!
