Zoo

On Saturday we (Nancy, Grammy, the boys and myself) went to the Zoo. Our zoo is so big that we only walked around maybe a quarter of it and we spent 5 hours there. The weather was very hot also for the zoo. We were walking around in 85-90 degree weather. The good thing about it was there really wasn't that many people. This was the boys first time going and they were looking forward to seeing animals. The first thing we did was ride the tour bus. This is Chase and Cody waiting in line for the bus. We weren't really impressed with the amount of animals that we saw on the bus.

This otter was in the children's zoo and it kept doing somersaults in the water and chasing its tail. The boys really thought that was funny.

In the petting zoo, Chase and Cody got to pet a goat and rabbits. They both thought that was pretty cool.

We were able to see panda bears out and looking at the crowds gathered around them. This is the mother panda and here sleeping 18month old baby was sleeping in the tree above her. The baby was at the end of the branch and had been sleeping there for 4 1/4 hours.

Baby sleeping in the tree very close to us as we walked by but higher in the tree.

Crocodile looking not real. It was but it never moved other than the blinking of his eyes.

The Orangutan's were very active today. There was one sitting right by the glass where we sat and watched. Then a older orangutan came and sat down beside him. There were others in the cage swinging around and chasing each other. It was very cool to see.

I had a character drawing made of Chase and Cody. It turned out really cute. I think I am going to hang it in thier bedroom after a change in from baby to big boy sometime later this year. Cody is on the left and Chase is on the right.

We hope to make it back to the zoo real soon. We all enjoyed it so much.
