The weather turned out to be perfect! A light jacket was all you needed and in the sun it was really warm.
The kids were beside themselves and for the entire first hour they ran everywhere. They couldn't wait to check out all the animals.
Bottom Left: The first set of animals we walked up on were these two huge 'cats' that were fighting. The kids thought it was great! Me, not so much. I'm not so confident in how thick that glass is. : )
Emma Claire kept the map and informed us of every direction we needed to go. : )
This was Camp's highlight of the day. My boy LOVES trains so it wasn't even a question whether we were going to ride or not. : )
The zoo was having a special sting ray exhibit where you were able to go in and actually pet the sting rays and baby sharks as they swam around. At first Emma Claire wasn't so sure if she wanted to stick her hand in the water. Where is daddy when you need him? So...I pushed up my sleeves and in my arm went. Totally out of my zone, but oh well, it made her feel comfortable and she was off from there! The things we do for our kids.

Camp was just as happy watching. Not a chance he would put his arm in the water.
Bottom Right: It was feeding time for the pelicans!
Who's that movie star?! ; 0
We were SO close to all the animals.
Here was the highlight of my girls day, riding the camels!
Camp wasn't so sure he wanted to ride until sissy offered to take a ride with him. : )

Bottom Right: This sweet baby was so good all day. I think he really enjoyed getting to ride like a big boy in the stroller!
Not the family picture I was looking for but check out how excited Dawson was. ; )
Thanks so much for the fun day! We all had a blast!!
