The Zoo

On Friday my parents took all the grandkids and moms to the zoo for the day. We had a great time with all of the kids now old enough to know what is going on. The little ones loved watching the big animals and the older kids loved learning new things about the zoo even though they have been a few times before. Since my parents have a yearly pass I'm hoping we get to go a lot this summer and really help the kids learn new and different things about the zoo and the animals.

They have a new African exhibit and when you first walk through there are some drums there for the kids to play. Celeste and Eddie loved trying these out.

In the new African exhibit they also have lions. We couldn't see the lions well while they were sitting on top of the rocks, but the statues of the lions were fun. Celeste enjoyed climbing on them with the other kids and was willing to take a picture for me!
While some of the other kids were in the petting zoo, Gordon got a chance to get out of the stroller and run around. He loved climbing on the benches and chasing the birds.
