It's somewhat close to our house, very affordable, and while the animal enclosures aren't everything you might hope, there is a silver lining - it's easy to skip from one exhibit to the next. No crazy long walks or tram rides or anything... even Luke walked over 90% of it (and hitched a ride on Matt's shoulders towards the end).
It rained hard all morning and we were wary of continuing in our plans, but off we went and the rain stopped on our drive there and not one more drop fell from the sky all afternoon! Yay that the rain really made for a nice (even somewhat cooler) afternoon. We just bought these new rain jackets and everyone was excited to wear theirs, even though it wasn't raining!
Two camels and two horses. I'm not quite sure why they share this enclosure but one of the camels got nice and close to everyone.
Happy walking buddies.
The tiger prowling around; he was pretty incredible. They also had a gorgeous jaguar.
And this baby giraffe - born on my birthday :) She was already taller than Matt, about six weeks old!
Tired Luke on Daddy's shoulders. Matt had the zoo map on his phone and I think at this point he was plotting our exit route ;)
Kinda funny that the child I missed a photo of was Isaac. He is definitely the biggest zoo fan in our family. He loved it! We got home and he closed the door behind him, leaned back against it with a dramatic sigh and said "I cannot wait to go back to that zoo."
Me too buddy, and we will go back again soon!
