Elizabeth did not have school today, due to SEP conferences, so we decided to spend the day at the Hogle Zoo. We love the zoo and look for any chance we can to go and explore and see all of the animals.
Since I have been watching my friend Rikki's little boy during the day, he got to come along with us!
Elizabeth seemed to love having a friend to run around with. They were great friends and went everywhere together. It was cute!
Elizabeth was so excited to show Ashton the new Rocky Shores section of the zoo. It opened earlier this year and Ashton as not been able to see it yet.
Elizabeth loves the Eagles...because her Papa loves Eagles! She had to make sure to tell Ashton about her Papa and about how much he loves Eagles. What a cute girl!
Zachary loved seeing the sea lions.
Isn't he so stinkin' cute! Love that boy!
We had a great time wandering around the zoo. Many of the animals were out and about. It is nice to come to the zoo in the Fall because it is not so hot...for us and for the animals!
We were able to see the Elephant Show. The kids loved watching the elephants following the commands of their handlers.
Elizabeth and Ashton loved this large Elephant. It plays music and then sprays water out of its' trunk.
Zachary was not quite as sure about it.
I remember this lion drinking fountain from when I was a kid and would come to the zoo. It is kinda surreal to now watch my little girl drinking from that fountain...man, I'm old!
What a great day. I am so glad that we were able to get outside and expore the zoo. I love spending time with my munchkins!
