Family Zoo Trip

We took our first zoo trip with the six of us a week or so ago. The kids were good of course and Dale was amazed I had taken all 4 kids by myself earlier in the summer. It really wasn't that bad, but don't tell him that. The new giraffe exhibit was open and a big hit with Regan. Although I have to say the tortoise enclosure was my favorite this time. They were too funny and we all enjoyed watching them move around and had fun making slow jokes. The kids always love riding the train and we found out that Jack really doesn't care for anything unless its moving.

My least favorite part is always the birds. I feel sorry for them that they don't get to fly. Oh and the snakes that they don't get to slither around and eat things and cause trouble. We did get to see a bunch of bats in the rain forest exhibit that had "escaped." The jaguar was also out and the beavers were swimming around too. When I took the kids by myself we got to see the elephants get their bath and the prairie dogs poke their heads out and scurry about. The cool thing about the zoo is that each time we go we see something new and different than we did the last time.
