On Day 3, we woke up to rain but since it rained every day we were there we decided not to let it stop us. We headed out to the Alpine Zoo with lots of Alpine animals. Several I don't think I have ever seen, like a pack of wolves. It felt very much like we were somewhere near Narnia, don't know why but it did.

After the zoo we headed into the city of Innsbruck. It was a pretty city with lots of history. We went to see Maximilian's Golden Dachl. He built it in the 16th century to display his wealth. It has 2657 gilded cooper tiles.

After Innsbruck we hurried back to the farm for another horse ride. The girls just loved the horses, they couldn't get enough of them. They still talk about riding the horses. After the ride they helped clean and feed the horses and then we went to visit the new baby cows. One new cow didn't have a name yet so Tirza thought she should be called Hello Kitty:) The family like that but thought they would just call her Kitty:) Then the dad or Farmer, asked if the girls wanted to take a tractor ride so off Mark and the girls went on the tractor.

We loved our time in Austria, it was so relaxing... the scenery was just beautiful! Next post is our 4 county day!
