1st Trip to the Zoo 2013

With the weather warming up and Nic's due date getting closer we found a day to head to the zoo unfortunately Kimber had to work so she will have to come with us another time. For Christmas we bought a pass so were excited to use it and see if its worth it. The sun was out and it was a whopping 50 degrees but warm enough to enjoy ourselves. Nic & I had brought the kids hats and gloves but we didn't need them. We headed first for the elephants(the kids love them), We were a little worried since Brit said they had gone Saturday and some of the animals weren't out because it was to cold.  The kids were wanting to watch the elephants...not posing for pictures.
 Lucky for us it was just that much warmer and the trainer even came out and had them do some tricks for us.
 The kids were all memorized and we had a front and center seat for all the action 

 Next were the rhinos the trainer told us some fun facts about them and them fed them with a great view for the kids to get to watch.

 Rocky Shores was my favorite for sure last year and it didn't disappoint this year either if you look closely behind Hallie is a sea lion and behind Grace is a seal. The animals were so active and ready to put on a show.

 I love the viewing glass and we sat for about 30 minutes watching them swim back and forth without any complaints for the kids...pretty sure they liked it to

 The grizzly bears were very interested in us and came very close up to the glass. Gracie tried to touch it and Riggs backed up like he was a little unsure.


 The giraffes even had something new...a baby giraffe.
 Then last but not least the gorillas who were playing inside and and eating lots of celery. It was so cool.

These 3 little amigos were so worn out they didn't even last to the freeway. We had so much fun and cant wait to go again. We packed a cooler and just ate as we went. The animals were all so active minus the cats as a whole it made it so fun and kept the kids very interested. I think this will be a great addition to our pass collection.
