Zoo Day!

Today the kids and I spend a good chunk of our day at the Hogle Zoo. We had a wonderful time, but missed having Eric with us.

Zoo Day July 26, 2011

My brave children touching a snake!

Their favorite part of the day was watching the baby elephant.

There is a fun dinosaur exhibit at the zoo right now. They have different dinosaurs all over the zoo that move and make dinosaur sounds. One even spits at you. Adam LOVED them!! Tessa wanted nothing to do with any of them!

I finally convinced Tessa that this dinosaur was a statue. That is the only reason she got close to it.

Both kids have grown since our last visit to the zoo!

We spent a long time watching the giraffes. Two of them came right up to us!

Watching a squirrel monkey play with its tail.

We saw a show while we were there and the kids got to touch an opossum and a snake after the show was over.

This was Tessa's immediate reaction every time we got near a dinosaur. Even if it wasn't making noise. We had a fun day and are thankful we are getting to do so many fun things together this summer!
