Hogle Zoo Trip - July 20th

Nils and I had the chance to take the kids to Hogle Zoo. We went with our friends Chris and Cheryl. They had their little girl Vanessa with them and her and Ryder had a blast. It was a VERY hot day, but it was neat to watch the kids get excited over the animals. That was Ryder's and Brooklyn's first time ever to a zoo. Above is the four of us standing in front of the Elephants.


The Elephants were eating, but by the time we got Ryder to half look at the camera they were done eating. So, here is Nils and Ryder with the Elephants and Ryder being his dorky self. LOL.


Here is Brooklyn and I inside the Giraffe house. The Giraffes were huge and Brooklyn didn't quite know what to think of them. I finally got her somewhat close without her freaking out for a picture. She loved all the animals from a distant, but not too close up.


Here is Ryder and Nils standing outside of the Giraffe house with a Giraffe just laying down.

They had this big sign posted by the Ape exhibit. Ryder was standing there and I thought it made a cute picture. As many of you know he HATES monkey's, but he did get close to the sign. The whole trip was fun and we would like to do it again soon. The kids behaved and enjoyed the day besides being hot and tired.
