We've gone to the zoo before with our good friends, Mike and Brooke, and they wanted to make a return trip with their little girls, Emery & Landry. Above, note the liveliness of the cheetah! Many of the animals were pretty sedentary due to the heat, or all together hidden. But, the kids (and us!) enjoyed it, nevertheless.
Emery and Mike looking at the tigers.
Kellen is always a huge help with the little ones. Here, she was helping to lift Dawson up so he could see over the fence.
"Quick! They're following us!" A little too young to be escaping into the bushes, don't you think? ;-)
I'll give you one guess which kid didn't want their picture taken!
We got to see a little baby! Their fur is orange when they're young, and gradually becomes black. The baby held on for dear life every time his mama swung across all the ropes!
Brooke had the difficult job of keeping Landry cool and out of the sun.
Posing on the animal chairs.
Our gorgeous Kellen enjoying her green apple shaved ice. It's become a family tradition to get snow cones at the booth by the elephants. It was very refreshing this morning!
Sometimes Dawson really wants me to take his picture, and enjoys posing for it. This was one of those times!
Isn't Emery adorable???
Kellen has always had a knack for making babies laugh! Here she is, bonding with Landry as we waited for the sea lion show to start.
The trainer and "Chloe", showing off her tricks. We all wanted to jump in the water WITH Chloe!
I don't think he wanted his picture taken...
Though she didn't get any pleasure from seeing the animals, I think Landry definitely had it made---she had this little fan pointed at her face all morning long!We were out of there by noon and then enjoyed a yummy (but long, thanks to a poor server!) lunch at On the Border!
