We went to the zoo today and the kids were really excited. Our first stop was the giraffes.
Anna didn't want to pose with me. :) As is her custom. I think you can see less than a quarter of Anna's face in this picture, but you can still tell that she's mad. :)
The kids make bear faces while we check out the bears.
A big peacock came up to visit us.
The kids pretending they're spiders
And hatching out of eggs!
They had lots of fun kid things to play with and on
Anna loved this tiny door and wanted to walk back (from another part of the zoo) so she could go through the door again and again.
Posing by the bear. We actually got a real good view of some real grizzly bears...but I didn't get a picture of those. It was cool though.
Matthew and the Moose
Trying out some 4 wheelers
The kids had fun sitting on them
Later we saw more peacocks (or the same one?). This one decided to give us a little show. The kids loved it. Afterward Anna said seeing the "pigeon" open his big tail was her favorite thing. :) She knew it started with a "P."
Matthew liked this statue of a Rocky Mountain goat. He said this was one of the three billy goats gruff...probably the big one, he said. He had to act out part of the story too. He will act it out for you too if you ask him. He also now does a peacock impression on command. :)
Matthew doing an impression of this gorilla.
He looked a little bit angry!
Anna checking out the orangutans.
And the komodo dragon
We had a fun day at the zoo. Everyone liked seeing the peacocks and the giraffes and the hippo. I didn't get a picture of the hippo, but we got to see one out of the water and being fed. He was big! Here the kids pose on some elk or deer statues or something. Just ignore Scott there. :) We also got annual passes to the zoo, which were only a little more than a one day ticket for all of us, so we can go back a lot. Hooray! And hooray for a warm day to visit!!
