This year we got a family membership to the zoo. It may very well have been the best $100-some that we have ever spent. There are so many fun things to do at our zoo. It's much more than just animals. There are playgrounds and rides and shows and petting zoos and all kinds of extras! There is even a splash park, where we spent lots of the hot summer days. While our membership does last a whole year and I am sure we will still be spending some time there in the coming months, the summer is officially now over, so some of our zoo fun will have to come to an end. Here is a look back at our summer zoo fun.
Thinking about petting some goats
Cling-on
Daddy's shoulders: best elephant watching spot in the whole zoo
"I touched it! I touched it!"
Pimping her new zoo ride
Feeding the giraffes
Definitely moved on from thinking about petting goats to totally petting goats galore
Carousel ride with Mommy (she picked the giant gorilla)
Introducing Aidan to her friends, the "Nemo fishes"
Zoo picnics are fun
Lorakeet whisperer
Splishin' and a splashin'
Monkey in the middle?
"I can't hear you above all this water noise! Did you ask for my number?"
Kangaroo peekaboo
I have no idea where she got this idea, but it happened pretty much every time we visited the splash park. She would run in circles around the polar bear while all the while waving at no one in particular. Just waving.
Surrounded!
Posing with Mr. Seal
...and Monsieur Polar Bear
Playground break (I think it's important to note that she did not let go of the pieces of hot pretzel in her hands the entire time)
