Our trip to the Zoo

We are so glad for the nice weather. We were able to go to the zoo for the first time in 2008. It was very crowded but we had a lot of fun. In this picture Annie, Josiah and their cousin, Logan, are standing in front of a black bear (which you can barely see).

The Polar Bears were so much fun to watch. One of them was playing with a small tire and got it stuck around his head. He tried for 5 minutes or so to get it off and finally went in his cave to pry it off his head. We think he was embarrassed by all of us watching. Well, just a thought!

Josie and her cousin, Layla, just chilled out the whole day. They seemed to really enjoy their first trip to the zoo together.

One of Annie's favorite animals is the Zebra. This one was especially beautiful.

This is a picture of Annie looking face to face with an Orangutan. They seemed so sweet and calm. This had to be my favorite part of the entire day. We stayed here for a good 15 minutes just looking at these beautiful creatures God made. ( See the Orangutan's hand on the glass at the top.) So sweet!

Making our way back to the car after a LONG, fun day at the zoo. We wanted to leave at 2:30 but did not get home until after 4:00. Needless to say, the kids were wiped out!

One last photo op! It is Zoo Blooms time at the Zoo right now and we just had to get a picture in font of the beautiful tulips. Thank you zoo for a wonderful and happy day. See you next time!
