Zoo Times

On Monday afternoon we went to

It was our neighbor Bryndal's birthday event

and luckily we were invited along!

First up, the monkeys.
Real ones this time, not the kids.

Then on to the reptiles.

My LEAST fave part. 

This one was ultra comforting.

No cage, no glass.

He could just slither right out and strangle us.

The albino python

Anden smartly teasing it.

Um ya I'm sure I know who would win that one.

The Kangaroo exhibit.

You just walked around inside with them.

One jumped like 3 ft away from me!

(and yes I snatched my camera while it was on the wrong settings!)

Next we moved on to the Giraffe exhibit.

So cool!!

You walked up onto the platform and could feed and touch them!

Wasn't so cool when I saw their tongues though.

They almost ate like 3 kids.

That were 10 feet away.

After Ty's whole head got licked,

we decided to move on!

After the animals almost ate Taylee's hair,

I quickly picked a new hairdo!

Taylee's favorite animal!

The White Tiger!

Next up was the Petting Zoo

Yet somehow my kids didn't even go inside

because there was a playground next door that they couldn't resist.

hhmm baby animals vs an everyday playground??

 

Finally we ventured into the Aquarium.

Where Anden fell in love with the Stingrays.

A little too much.

Then we all ate at Dillons inside the zoo.

Which took 2 hrs!

Needless to say the kids were climbing the walls

and wiping the floors with themselves.

So we bolted home right after!

8pm on a weeknight is just too rebellious for us!
