Sometimes I feel like I am in a Zoo

Here is the documentation of our yearly trip to the zoo. We were happy this year to go with my brother Jared and his family.

Now who doesn't have a picture of themselves as a kid with their head in the lion's mouth?

Ok this is simply just gross and I did not realize what was happening because I was focused on getting the shot, but I was made aware of it by the "ugh!"'s and "eww!" 's of those behind me.
(here's to hoping we don't take any illnesses away from that one)

That is more like it!

let's just feed them to the lion shall we?

hanging around in the monkey house!

Baby Zuri and mom!
Now this was interesting because the mother was spraying people with water from her trunk after the show. I wish I would have gotten a shot of that but it was kind of crowded. Crowded enough that by the time I got through the crowd Zuri was walking away instead of cutely standing between her mom's legs :(

trying to enjoy the bird show (Embrie was eventually taken out because of her bad behavior)

I just love these majestic creatures!

Garrett wanted to give the bird a dollar to help out the zoo!

. . .and we end with a ride on the train yay!
