The ZOO

Timothy had most of last week off, so on Wednesday we went with some friends to the zoo. It was really fun, and the weather was better than I had hoped. We left at 7:30 am. It started out cloudy and only around 80 degrees. It got up into the 90's, but that was it. The zoo was really cool. They had all sorts of fun things. Timothy and I got to go in to the cage with the "wild" monkeys (we didn't think it would be good to bring Maylee in). It was pretty cool to see them playing in the trees and ropes with no barrier between us and them. We really enjoyed the day, and were pretty tired by the end of the trip.

This is how excited Maylee was to be at the zoo.
It was a little too early for her.

This was inside the big red barn. There is a petting zoo in here and a place to
comb the goats just outside. The older kids really enjoyed it, and the adults liked the cool air inside :)

There were several Peacocks that came really close to us.

There were all these cool animals for the kids to sit on for photos
and to enjoy being close to the life size statues.

we had to pause for feeding time.

okay so first because Maylee is still an infant this is the way
you should put her in the baby carrier, however, she hated it.
So we turned her around and she was looking at everything.
She smiled and enjoyed it a lot after we turned her around.

The elephant was throwing dirt on himself to keep cool. It was interesting.

In the child's play area they had these really cool benches.

This is the playhouse with tree slide

There were tons of turtles just swimming around in all the ponds.
It was pretty cool to see. They have islands with monkeys on them
surrounded by turtle infested waters! Pretty scary (Ha Ha Ha)

Our great husbands with the strollers and maps making sure we didn't get lost.


Tuckered out at the end of a big day.
