Kangaroo Crazy

Last week Aunt Mary, mum, Sean and Kieran went on a kangaroo adventure. Little did we know the kangaroo's would be so jumpy and friendly.

We were amazed at the number of kangaroo's when we arrived, and in our excitement we quickly rolled down the windows of the car for a better view. Within seconds we were surrounded by curious kangaroo's poking their heads and paws into the car to get a better look at Sean's peanut butter sandwich. We were a little nervous at first but soon realized how friendly they were.

Aunt Mary took us to the grounds of an old hospital surrounded by fields and forest. This is where all these wild kangaroo's live. They gather in the fields beside the hospital every morning and evening to graze in the fields. Because there are so many, they have now become somewhat of a tourist attraction and are quite friendly as a result of all the human contact. It was really neat to walk in the fields with all these kangaroo's jumping around you. We even fed some right out of our hands and the boys also named a few of their favorites.

Look how many kangaroo's are here!

Here's a picture of Sean feeding the kangaroo's special food. Aunt Mary made a trip to the local pet store to get special food for kangaroo's. It was made up of grasses, seeds and a few pellets. They loved it!
