This picture cracks me up. Really, what are they all doing?
They have a very large flamingo exhibit
It was still very early and the day was just warming up, so we decided to hit the inside exhibits before it got really nice
We saw the penguins and watched a feeding
Grady bonded with a Galapagos Tortoise (he told him he knew Stretchy)
A Komodo Dragon
Then we got to do something super cool that I have never seen at any zoo I have been to. We could feed the giraffes! The kids all tried and loved it!
Zebras!
They have a very large elephant area with many elephants
The gorilla exhibit was also very large - this one was inside for some reason
There's another one up on the hill
They have a very cool "kangaroo walkabout" where you can just walk in amongst them. One jumped right across the path while we were in there!
We also got to feed some birds from little cups, but they were not too hungry that day, so we had to be a little persistent and go to them
This one stole my cup out of my hand and gobbled it up!
Anson really wanted to ride the carousel, so we all took a ride
Poor girl had such fun that she cried when I had to pry her off her bird
The first time we saw the koalas they were all asleep (apparently they sleep nearly all day) but then we passed by and one was awake and even moving around! It was incredible - he was so close
Then we headed to the farm area where we visited with some goats and fed them (of course)
It was such a great day and reminded me of how much fun we will be able to have this spring and summer, now that we can skip the occasional nap and take some longer day trips.
