The sun was shining FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY so we decided to head to the zoo. We had tried around Easter break but there was NO parking anywhere and we decided it would be far too busy...and Im not one for crowds. So we ventured off today and it was busy...but the kids had so much fun! We went with the Humphreys and Marissa was so great at keeping the kids entertained. They had as much fun climbing rocks and exploring caves as they did seeing the animals!!
The climbing rocks were PACKED...but Stephanie found a climbing spot all to herself and struck a pose.
CUTE GIRLS!!
We did see animals and James was very interested. The bear gave us a nice show and came right up to us! The baby mountain goat was so cute dancing on a rock and the whooping crane was strutting his stuff too!
The hippo was hilarious and we all started singing 'I like em chunky' from Madagascar II. He was sunning himself and then went for a dip and the crowd was watching!! I felt sorry for the buffalo (this one is blonde) and voted him ugliest animal in the zoo (didnt help that he was shedding his winter fur). The giraffe's were active and the baby adorable. We even viewed a video of the baby giraffe being born...the girls were all quite disturbed by it!
Fun at the park!
These were some funny shots....I LOVE the one of Erica being a bear!! She is far too cute to be scary. Missy was striking a stunning pose on the rock with her Sunny D. Paige was posing with the Elephant's behind...and if you look closely...Missy is poking her face in there too! The girls all had a ton of fun and James loved all the sites!
This picture was my favorite of them all! She reminds me of Florida!
My personal highlight of the day was the baby gorilla! She turned 1 yesterday and she was playing with her mom. It was the CUTEST thing to watch them! It reminded me of the way Mike plays with James! Adorable! She was the cutest little thing....for a gorilla!
