Day at the zoo

We went to the zoo with our mom's group and the kids had such a good time and did so well for me. We got there around 9:30 and didn't leave until after 2! Autumn did better than she ever has- she didn't complain about walking and kept saying she wasn't ready to leave and wanted to see more animals! Shelby took a nice little nap towards the end and let us keep looking.

The zoo was decorated for Halloween...




A prairie dog tunnel and hole the kids crawled through...

The duck that almost took her fingers off!

They had brushes to brush the goats, poor goats...Autumn went around to every single one and she's not the gentlest when it comes to that!
Watch out goat!!!






A bald eagle's nest...I like the expression on her face in this one!

The first and only time she stepped over the water spout since it went right up her nose!
Turtle spitting wars!


Working up the courage to touch the glass with the sharks right there!
Getting tired but not wanting to give it up!

So, has the zoo made some improvements recently or something? Looks a lot better than I remember. These are some really great pics- you're becoming a regular little photographer.
OUCH- water forced straight up the nose- good thing it wasn't Lake LBJ water :-)

Yeah, the children's zoo was totally redone and is pretty nice now. The rest of the zoo always seems to be a work in progress but it seems like it is nicer than it used to be.
