Since all five of my dear ones started school on the same day this year, we were all feeling the end of summer blues. I thought one more trip to the zoo might be a fun way to spend a Monday.
The weather was beautiful, and since everyone got to wake up naturally, no one felt sleepy or angry! And, because of when we went, we got a really good parking spot, in the shade, since the early birds were done for the day!
A Michigan shaped leaf!
I don't have much to say about many of these pictures, just enjoyed being there with all of my babies!
Alice was our official Chipmunk counter at the zoo, and we saw 15 during our visit! We also heard some, but Alice determined that those didn't count.
I had no idea that the Lion's Club sponsored this fountain!
Kookaburra looking regal as always!
They still had lettuce for sale at the Giraffe overlook, so everyone got to feed these magnificent creatures! It was the first thing that everyone told Billy about when he got home, suffice to say, I think it was everyone's favorite activity.
"Do you have food?"
I was trying to see if the giraffe posters were a likeness for this giraffe, and I decided that they were not.
They must have recently fed the animals near the giraffe stand, because we saw many more of the animals from the book than we did the last two times!
"What did you find William?"
The app on my phone says it's a Milkweed Tussock Moth caterpillar!
Al has a bandage on his leg because of a recurring skin infection, but he came over to say hi anyhow!
The red river hog apparently thought it was too hot out. But his ears were fabulous!
Emily and William (play) fighting over who gets to see the Red River Hog. It's a shame that they couldn't look at the same time. Strange children.
It looked like they were in the process of reopening this mine shaft path, but it was inaccessible this trip.
I sure am glad this was a staged snake and not a real one, because I didn't even see it when I walked into the restroom!
They were only running one tram, so we were the first in line for the next round, and a had a long wait! The twins found that they really enjoyed the frayed rope end.
I intentionally brought quarters to that everyone could feed the goats! The bigger goats were definitely bullies though!
We didn't realize that you weren't supposed to feed the goats inside the enclosure, for good reason, those big goats were aggressive! So, Emily is in there doing illegal things!
Alice's one request was to see the wolves, since she didn't come with us the second time to remedy that oversight. It looked like they had posed for our visit! So majestic.
