Zoo Fun

Okay, I just thought it was too cute to see Andrea stand there with her arm around Brayden.

Okay, Becca actually was frantically trying to pick grass as this giraffe was walking over....she was going to feed it!

The moment Becca was waiting for-her Zebra's, she has been waiting all month to come an see them...I don't know why?

Trying to get a peak at all the penquins.

Last night the we made it to the zoo for a very fun evening. The Zoo had the zoo keepers out at a couple of the exhibits and allowed us to go much closer than on a normal visit. The kids were able to get very close to the elephants and the giraffes. It is amazing how big a giraffe is once you get within 10 feet-they are so awkward but graceful at the same time. The sheer size of them both becomes very real at that distance! Becca was excited to see the baby lion cubs, the back of their exhibit was open so once again we could get in and see them up close. Becca was a little disappointed as they have grown and really don't look so small anymore. Brayden's favorite event was the sea lion show, he thought it was pretty cool to see them jump and splash the crowd. It was a very fun night, although very busy we did manage to wade through the crowds of people. Thankfully the kids are small enough they can wriggle in little spaces to see the action-which worked well when trying to see the penguin feeding. We wish they had more days like this through-out the year! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for our Family Zoo Pass!
