We're Going To The Zoo, Zoo, Zoo.....

We finally made our first visit to a Zoo! I know, Madden is almost TWO and he hasn't been to the Zoo. Neglected child. So, we decided it was time.....packed up and headed out one Saturday morning bright and early. We had tried to go once before and the parking was horrendous, so we went to our church playground instead. We learned the key to going to the Zoo is to get there EARLY.






We were greeted by a nice Zoo worker who enticed us into purchasing a Zoo membership. So, now we are MEMBERS of the Zoo and can go for FREE anytime for 1 year. It actually is a nice perk for us - we can go for just an hour or two and not feel bad since it's not really costing anything.



We decided to check out the NEW exhibit "Giants Of The Savanna".

Looking for the gorillas......

Acting like a monkey.....

THERE'S THE GORILLA!!!!!

After spotting the gorilla, we took a little potty break.....

Then, it was off to see the elephants.....

.....and the warthogs......

....take a drive in the jeep......

....and feed the giraffes......

After seeing the exhibit, we took a little water break. It was getting hot and after 1 1/2 hours, Madden was done......and we were OK with that, because we can come back anytime!

Looking forward to seeing what else the Zoo has to offer on our next trip!!
