FuN at the zOo!

Chris has Mondays and Tuesdays off work now. SOOOO, we decided to spend the afternoon at the Zoo. We all had a blast! The weather couldn't have been more perfect. And we almost saw EVERYTHING (we missed the bird exhibit, apparently it closes before everything else does..oops).
Arriving at the Zoo! Savannah fell asleep in the car, so she's a bit groggy in this picture. She's looking at the Macaws. She started screeching like them. Chris turned to me and said, "See we didn't need to go to the zoo, we have our own zoo at home!"

One of their indoor fish exhibits has a tunnel going through the middle of the tank. Chris took a picture of Savannah and I crawling through it. Its meant for kids, so it was a tight fit...
Savannah in front of the giraffe that was only one month older than her. But quite a bit bigger! The baby giraffe at 8 months old stood 6ft tall and weighed 296 pounds.
The baby elephant that kept climbing up on the rocks and stepping down and then would do it again. Savannah thought he was cool for all of about, oh I don't know 2 seconds. The kids watching the elephants around her were MUCH more interesting.
Savannah getting excited about the camera. That's the "baby" giraffe behind us
Savannah is watching the elephant across the way.

The big kids playing! Savannah had fallen asleep at this point. Which was a bummer because we were almost to the petting zoo and the animals were actually out playing. Unlike last time, it was too hot so they were all laying around under the shade.
