Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

A few weeks ago I went to the Zoo with my friend Kaylnne to see the new baby elephant, giraffe and tigers. This is the first time I have ever seen a baby elephant in person, they are super duper cute!!

I was pregnant with Benjamin the same time this momma elephant was pregnant with her baby...only her pregnancy was much, much longer than mine. :)

Rachel kept calling the girl elephant "Dumbo" and Benjamin kept saying "wow!"

They were feeding the penguins when we went this time. This was the first time we have been there to see it and the kids LoVeD it! I thought it was pretty neat too. When the penguins were swimming at the surface they looked like ducks with their heads poking out of the water.

The baby giraffe was cute, but I think he was tired because he didn't do much else than lay down and pick at some grass.

This was also the first time we were able to see the wolf.

Near the entrance there is this ball that spins because of water pressure. The kids had a blast playing with it and splashing in the water under the ball. At one point Kalynne and I tried to stop the ball and get it to spin in the other direction. We were successful and several kids thought we were so cool they wanted to try it too :)

Before leaving we went the little playground area where Rachel and Benjamin had a blast burning off their last bit of energy. Rachel was even brave enough to try this l o n g snake tunnel slide.
