All week we'd been driving by the Zoo and the girls would get so excited every time they saw the elephant statue out front. We kept hoping for warmer weather, but decided the 50s were gonna have to do. Julie had told me it was a free zoo, so I imagined it would be rather small and quaint - boy was I wrong! It was huge and so much fun!
Libby at the hippos - though it looks like just a bunch of fish, the hippos are the giant rock-looking things behind all the fish.
My little cuties!
They had a cool sea lion tunnel like the shark tunnel at Sea World that the girls thought was awesome.
Libby getting up close and personal with one of the orangutans. They were bosom-buddies since they both share a strong affinity for snuggling up in blankeys for a nap! ;)
Monkeying around with the gorillas.
Libby and one of the camels.
Lexi with the giraffes in their indoor enclosure. That was something new to us - the idea of a zoo getting too cold to keep all the animals outside. They had a few of them inside for the chilly day outside. I for one was happy to visit the like-minded cold-hating species! ;)
What a great day at the zoo! We wore the kids out and had a great time doing it. A totally free experience - WOW!
