Definitely the hit of our zoo day was all of the baby animals. We just couldn't get enough of the cute baby elephant ... and sat and watched her play - and ooohed and awwwwed and laughed - for probably 30 minutes. Isn't she just the cutest thing ever? She had so much energy - and was rolling in the mud and running everywhere and splashing water out of her water bucket ... and when she would fall over or trip - she would run and hide behind her Mom's legs. Awwww man - she is a QT!
As you can see ... I took EVERY picture possible ... and humored EVERY single one of the kids' "Take a picture of this, Mom!" And I'm so happy I did. Good memories. Even Krystal throwing a fit right smack in the middle of the path is good memories. We just love our sassy baby!
The baby giraffe was also a favorite. He was so sad, though - 'cuz he would reach and reach with all his might to eat the leaves off of the bushes - and, not being able to reach, would finally plop himself down next to a pile of hay on the ground. :( We were so sad for him. But, he was super cute.
The baby jaguars - very fluffy and sweet:
We were super lucky to have M spend the day with us. My kiddos will do ANYTHING to please her. She's just the best EVER!!
Both Marissa and Tyler love the wolf. It is their favorite animal ... both of 'em! We always seem to get lucky the few times we've been to the zoo - and get a beautiful view of the wolf.
Aaron hasn't been to the zoo since his was like 2 years old - and I think he really loved it. He was SUPER excited to see this Ram, because his school mascot is a ram. Look how teeny his hand looks next to the gorilla print! The gorilla is the only animal we didn't see. I'm not even sure if the Hogle Zoo has a gorilla right now??
I took plenty of pictures at this playground. We all had a great time hanging out here after we had been walking ALL over the zoo:
What a wonderful way to spend a day off of school. OH! We also got to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. SOOOOOOOO deeelish. Just a great day!
