ZOO!!!!

Today was our first trip to the zoo for the year. We are "zoo members" now, which means we'll be visiting there, A LOT. We only hit half of the zoo today, and that took us 3 hours. Here is our trip:






Tapirs: yep, they're real. I was beginning to think that was some animal that "Diego" made up for the kids show. Not really all that cool, though. Kangaroo. Ashley and I kept yelling at him to jump, and he just looked at us. I wanted the kids to see how they hop along.



Penguins! These were Colton's favorite. One penguin kept jumping out of the water by where we were standing and splashing us. Colton laughed and screamed every time.






Flamingos: stinky. That's all I have to say about them. I didn't remember them being so stinky!

The hippo. He barely even raised an eyelid at us.

The.... (drum roll) train ride! The kids heard the train whistle and they were not all that interested in anything else we saw until we rode the train.









And the carousel!







This is where I stuck the kids to wait while daddy waited in line for shaved ice.
And... my favorite. The elephants. I watched this big guy scoop up a pile of grass for a while to stick it in his mouth. Poor guy.
