Zoo+2 boys+Mama=FUN!

We love the zoo.
Sam started asking a month ago to visit one again.
He wanted to see a macaw and a zebra.
I told him when mama and daddy got back from the beach,
we would take a day and go.
Thursday night {15 minutes after we were home}
He asked when we were going to the zoo.
So, Friday beautiful day as it was
the laundry waited and we went to the zoo.
Our last couple of trips, we have waited until later in the fall to go
and this guy was never there.
Sam shrieked when we rounded the corner and found this Hippo.
And we loved the camel.
The lion and tigers were very active.
We loved the fish by the pond.
Laughed at the Kudu and Macaws
But we roared with laughter when the lady beside me told this giraffe
to smile...out came its tongue, right on cue!

We rounded out our day in Amazonia
We love how the birds fly close and we saw a baby jaguar and tapir,
both from Dora & Diego, of course.
Had a great day exploring the zoo with my boys!
Was so grateful for our fun day so we visited the gift shop,
usually steer clear of these places, just waiting to see what each boy choose.
A stuffed tiger, or lion coin purse, ball with zebra on it?
Sam disappointed said, Don't they have any trains?
So we stopped at Target for another addtion to our collection.
