Zoo Visit

With the cooler weather, the kids and I headed out for an afternoon adventure!  We received annual passes to the zoo for Christmas and we put them to good use this afternoon.  We enjoyed the animals, cool weather and spending time with each other.
in the van, ready to go
 my tour guides for the afternoon
 trying to find the black bears
 sweet kids
 red panda
 looking at the rhinos
 trying to get a closer look
 where should we go next?
 the river otters were very active today
 komodo dragon
 a big crocodile
making faces like the snake turtles
 watching the penguins being fed
 I think the butterfly exhibit was their favorite
 a butterfly landed on Cooper's head
 one is on Reagan's headband
see it?
 Cooper was the butterfly whisperer!!
 she had a great time
 having so much fun
 our best try at a family photo!
 Camel Ride
Cooper's favorite ~ the elephants

 zebras
 giraffes
 posing for pictures
 Cooper bought a rattle snake

ZOOtastic ~ Part 2

after much deliberation...Greg and Reagan decided we should have lunch
 we ate at the Kenya Cafe
 then we took a tram ride to the botanical gardens and back
 Reagan practiced her photography skills
 this anaconda "don't want none"
 they really enjoyed the aquarium part of the zoo
 a very large crab
 Reagan's favorite ~ the flamingos
 Cooper was our tour guide for most of the day!
 the baboons
 more flamingos
 Reagan's other favorite ~ the penguins
 If the ride home was any indication, I'd say it was a successful trip!
 Showing off their gift shop purchases...a snake for Cooper
 and a flamingo for Reagan
