The ZOO!

The Zoo was super fun we went fairly early in the morning and all the animals seemed to be out and active since it wasn't super hot yet.

If you look closely there is a HUGE TIGER hanging out right in front of the glass. This was way cool We were so close and Maddex just stared at him for the longest time. I think he was surprised as we all were how BIG they are!

The lion kept his distance from the fence but he did get up and walk a little closer and as he was Maddex was pulling on me saying "No no mommy yets go, yets go, git back."

Giraffes are so elegant, they walk so gracefully, and then they try to pick something up off the ground and they look very awkward and sadly unstable! It is so cool to see things that live an ocean away from us. There are two giraffes eating leaves behing us.

This is a crazy tall crane, it came up to the fence and we were just watching it do its thing, then all of a sudden it PECKED Payson! Thankfully he couldn't really get through the fence but it startled all of us! Then I started laughing so hard cuz I looked at Payson's face and he was a mixture of anger, and terrified! This is probably the reason Maddex pulled me away when the lion came closer to the fence.

Oh my sweet little Jett, he is the most amazing baby! He is so good to just sit and look at things and hang out with out so much as a wimper. Plus he is just so darn adorable!

The Komodo dragon was one of Maddex's favorites! (Just like his dad) It is so huge it kinda freaks me out! We will NEVER own a komodo dragon. Until the day that Ty brings one home and says "he is so easy to take care of we will just keep him in the backyard and feed him a rabbit once in awhile!"

Payson, Kyler and Maddex had lots of fun on the giraffe slide it si pretty cool!

The only Pic we got of the whole family! Thanks Elaine! We didn't even think about it until we got home and Tyler is not in ANY of the pictures! Sorry Ty if you only trusted me a little bit with your camera we could get some of you next time!
