Spring Break 2010! Part 1 - The Zoo

I knew I wanted to take the girls to the zoo during Spring Break, but I couldn't decide what day would be best. When I heard that Tuesdays were half price days I quickly made up my mind! The day started off kind of cloudly, but by the time we made it to the zoo the sun was in full blast and it was beginning to warm up. It turned out to be the perfect day for a trip to the zoo.

I think this was Little Bit's first time to be old enough to remember going to the zoo. She's always been in a stroller not knowing what was going on. So this time she was on her feet and checking it all out. Miss Priss has been several times and could now give tours of the zoo on her own! They both had a great time and it turned out to be a great day!




Little Bit checking out the Sea Lions.

The new Kangaroo exhibit was really cool.
They were all laying around soaking up the sun.



At first we thought the Crocs were just swimming around, but when we
spotted this guy summing we about jumped out of our skins! He was HUGE!!
I would hate to run into him outside the zoo!

Little Bit taking a break from all the walking!



Another new addition was the playground. We stopped to have lunch here
and let the girls play around.




Going across the swinging bridge. Little Bit wasn't so sure about it at first, but she warmed up to it.




Miss Priss the spider.



Posing in front of the zebras. Just look at those cute little faces!!

Little Bit and the giraffe.




 
Okay so I had to include this picture of this very odd PIG!
It looks like something a SI-FI movie!!
Look at how "fancy" his ears are!







Then of course we had to ride the carousel!
Wave at Daddy.




I included this shot just to show how excited Little Bit was.
Her feet are completely off the ground!!





Miss Priss lookin' sweet.



Petting the poster of the cheetah before going home.
They were sad to leave, but I do believe they enjoyed it! All in all we had a great day. They weather started off a little cloudy, but ended up being beautiful. Hopefully next time we visit they will be finished with all the construction and we can see the elephants, rhinos, hippos and all the other African wildlife.
