Trip to the zoo

Yesterday we decided to chance the cloudy weather and take a trip to the zoo! 

They have made some improvements although I was a bit disheartened to learn that despite paying a fee to get in, all the 'extras' also had a cost- the train ride, the camel ride, feeding the giraffes, riding the carousel, feeding the birds- all extra.  Not sure we'll go back again this year but despite the rain, Rea had fun looking at the animals and loved being with her friends!



The otters! (We told the kids they were smooching but I think it was a serious, knock-down, drag-out otter fight)



They hatched!


Hesitant at first but then giggled....


Checking for sea lions...


There they are!


Notice the thumb in mouth... was a little scared with this one.



Hope she doesn't have a lead foot like her mama!



Where are the giraffes?


Right there!


Checking out the monkeys...


Jacque's little boy, Keefer. Rea lovingly refers to him as "MY brother."
(and no the vehicle was not moving, for cute pic purposes only)

A great day at the zoo!
