We finally made our Annual Family Zoo Trip yesterday. We met Grandma JeanAnn, Uncle Bryan, Uncle Randy, Aunt Janelle, Brinton and Baby Holland. The day started out really nice but it did get hot. When we arrived they had a Bald Eagle and a Russian Eagle at the entrance that you could have your pictures with and get up close. The girls were fascinated by them, but weren't to sure about being this close.
We found the Childrens' Discovery Park near the train depot. The kids love it with all of the animal theme toys to play on. It took us awhile to get them to go and look at the animals.
Each year I have taken their pictures by this elephant. It is fun to see how they have grown and changed. It was amazing when I asked them their favorite part of our trip. Both of their replies were the Bird Show. Rylee liked the talking parrot and Reganne like the white birds. It was amazing to watch all the birds up close and personal. Except when the Hawke brushed the top of my head. That was to close and a little to personal. My favorite was watching how excited Reganne was with each animal. Her excitment was catchy as well. The baby giraffe that she couldn't figure out why it was so big for a baby. Her & Brinton went full speed ahead and had to push each other in the stroller.
Here we are at the elephant exhibit. It was shaddy and it had places to sit down. Everyone was getting really tired and hungry.
Ryder did really well and only got a little sun on his legs. Notice his hair...he had his second haircut. She buzzed it clean and he sat still the whole time and didn't cry. We had the hat for him, but he learned to take it off and play with it.
What a fun day it turned out to be. We loved spending time with family and being outside.

That sounds like a fun day. It's been years since we've been there but the couple of times Jeff & I were there we always took pictures of us in front of the gorilla painted on the wall. We'd stretch out our arms to see how we would measure up to a gorilla's arm span.
