The Zoo

I couldn't wait to take Luke to the Zoo as soon as it got warm!! So last weekend we went.
He practically packed the bag for me - here he is waiting by the door...



We met Cindy and the boys there. They had so much fun together!!
(Notice how her boys will smile nicely for the camera while mine won't even turn and look at me....)


Ugly rhino...


This was my very favorite ... the red panda. Is he not just the cutest thing you've ever seen?!?!


As we walked past the giraffe and then the Zebra, we were remembering the names of the characters in Madagascar. So in this picture, they are yelling at the Zebra, "Marty!"


We caught the elephant during Zoo talk. This particular elephant weighs 15,000 pounds! And I believe he was 45 or 49 years old.




I love the big cats ...


The tiger was asleep on his back with his belly in the air...


Playing on the safari truck - one of their favorite things to do...

Then, while eating lunch, we just happened to run into Luke's best friend from school.


They are like 2 peas in a pod!




Then we rode the carousel ... Luke wanted to ride the crocodile!


The prairie dog - isn't he cute!?


And then finally, the bears were actually awake this time. I think I've only ever seen them sleeping! And I don't think this one was too thrilled that I was taking his picture ....
If you ask Luke, he will tell you his favorite animal at the Zoo was the bear.
It was an enjoyable day - but walking all over the Zoo wore us both out!!!
