My First...

Trip to the Zoo!

Now that the weather has (sort of) started making a turn for the better we made our first trip to the Zoo! We tried this a few weeks ago but couldn't get a parking spot anywhere near the zoo and ended up walking around the grand basin and hangin' at the visitors center.

Yesterday, however, we were able to head off to the zoo for the afternoon. We love having Dad home on vacation this week!

Mommy and Madeline at the Penguin/Puffin coast.
Madeline loves the life sized puffy!

The Chimps were literally hangin' out in the trees! They were at least 60 feet up in the air!

Look at that woolly camel!!
(Alice the camel has, two humps!!!)

Daddy and Madeline love the big old giraffes!
They are so tall!

Madeline wanted to pet the warthogs. We had to explain that although Pumba looks cuddly, she probably wouldn't want to get to close. You want to stay up wind!

Daddy showing Madeline the Chinese yak!

Hanging out with Daddy and the elephants.
We got to see one of the new baby elephants and one
of the big elephants was swimming in the pond!
It was wicked cool!

It looks like Miss Maddy had a great time at the zoo. Mom & Dad, too. And who knew Alice the Camel really had two humps? (Well, I did)

I wish I could go to the zoo. Right now!
