We packed lunches and got ready to head out for a fun day at the zoo with the boys' cousins, aunt, and grandmother.
We arrived at the zoo and spent 4 hours walking around looking at animals. They had a ball. We saw a few animals that we hadn't been able to see on our last few visits and they had so much fun playing with their cousins. Here are a few highlights from our day:
 |
| a snapping turtle |
 |
| turtles have their spines attached to the shells |
 |
| learning about feathers and how birds "seal" them |
 |
| Playing with the water station |
 |
| colors, wheels and gears are so fun |
 |
| wind chimes |
 |
| making forts with scarves |
 |
| the boys played with the ropes and hooks |
 |
| the elephants were outside |
 |
| kangaroos |
 |
| the giant anteater |
 |
| enjoying our Del's and sharing with the dog |
 |
| Red panda's are still a huge hit |
 |
| All the animals were so close today |
 |
| some fountain fun |
 |
| the snow leopard was finally out! |
 |
| playing with the Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle boards |
 |
| all the boys on the branch |
 |
| the kids loved watching the bear play on his swing |
The boys noticed this morning that our caterpillars were hanging upside down from the lids of the
cups and they were so excited to think that they'd be making chrysalises soon.
It was a very fun, very full, tiring day.

I want to see a snow leopard! What a wonderful day at the zoo! Thanks for sharing! We love visiting our local zoo (Zoo Knoxville) and are looking forward to visiting Cincinnati Zoo next summer. They have a polar bear!
ReplyDeleteMy boys were really excited to see the polar bears at the Buffalo zoo a couple of years ago! Their paws are just so massive.
