We began as always checking out the waterfall and stream out front.
Then, we went and saw an elephant show.
Who knew you could train elephants to shake,
Give showers,
And, bow. They are more obedient than children!
Next we saw the monkeys, apes, chimpanzees, etc. They came up close and tried to give us five!
We of course had to measure ourselves to see, How We Measure Up! We look like we might fit in the ape family!
Addy was pretty brave. She seemed to like most of the animals. Of course, the giant tortoise is pretty non-threatening!
She didn't seem to mind this animal either (I'm not sure what it is for sure!). She was pretty entertained by it running back and forth.
This is the "Can we just look at the animals and not have to take a bunch of pictures" look!
A picture with me, just to prove I was actually there with them!
And no trip to the zoo is complete for our family unless we see the mighty cougar!
Of course seeing the animals is probably trumped by eating pizza and drinking out of animal sippers!
Or riding on the carousel!
Although I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned that my girlie-girl daughter picked a snake to ride on!
Addy was less sure of the carousel then she was of seeing the live animals I think.
Pretending to be eaten by the lion drinking fountain was also a very popular activity.
This is Addy's "I don't know why we are doing this, but Cole and Emily did it so I will not be left out" look.
They also had a great time pretending to be turtles,
pretending to be eaten by the snake slide,
and pretending to be a spider (or a fly).
There is no pretending here though. Addy was so worn out she had to take a short nap!
She did manage to wake back up in time for the ride on the train.
Finally, before we left, we had to play with the giant water ball on the way out!
What a day. We had lots of fun. And now we get to hear Emily asking every week when we can go back. Apparently our current freezing weather is not a factor for her!
