Veterans Day (and I suppose all other military and patriotic holidays) at the zoo are free for all military families, so we planned four months ago to go on Veterans Day! We knew it wouldn't be HOT, and it was on the verge of being COLD, but it was actually perfect because the sun was shining bright! So, it turned out to be a perfect family outing!
We saw all kinds of creatures!
Rhys' favorite, the Lorikeets. He kept asking, "Go back to see birds?!" :)
Caleb toured the zoo in comfort with lots of snacks. :)
Hyaenas...
A really WILD lion...
Boars???
A beautiful crane of some kind...
Zebras...
Giraffes & ostriches...
Elephants...
Monkeys...
Don't remember the name of these, but they're beautiful...
A gorilla (my favorite!); he was eating an entire head of cabbage like we eat apples!
A rhinoceros...
Then, we made our way to the petting zoo...
First stop, of course, the tractor!!!
Then, Daddy & Rhys loved on the goats...
And last, but certainly not least, the train ride!! Rhys' favorite part of the zoo! Mine, too, after walking all morning!
Caleb was not as interested in the train ride, but he will be soon enough! All in time!
What a wonderful family outing! A great zoo experience!
