zoo zoo zoo

We went to the zoo on Tuesday and had a blast. It was Bea's first time there and Jackson felt super cool showing her all his favorite stuff. We went with my friend and her boys, Ayden is 2 weeks older than Beatrix and he is head over heels in love with her. She thinks he is funny.


The beginning of the day started of clean and excited...


The giant tortoise, or as Bea calls it "happy"

Nothing like the smell of elephant poop on a 95 degree day.

They were speechless...even Jackson.

Now he wants a baby elephant.

Jackson thought the warthog had a funny face, I do to.

The greatest animal ever created....the MEERKAT!!!

The kids liked the meerkats also.

We are all adults here and I think we can all agree that the name "Kirk's Dik Dik" is just plain funny.

Now he wants to live in a cave with a baby elephant.

Aidyn going in for a kiss. Bea thinks it's hilarious.

Zebras are interesting.

This giraffe was so close we could touch it. Their teeth are scary, just so you know.

Looking at the crocodiles.

This is the real way to enjoy wild animals.

The goose that tried to steal the bag of gummi bears out of the kids lap. They started telling it "no, no!!"

Jackson in his rendition of "Children of the Corn part 3"

Not sure what they were looking at but they sure are cute!

Tiny girl.

We all wanted to be in the sea otter tank at this point of the day.

This is Bea's "I am so done with this place people" face.

This is Beatrix at the end of the day. Sweaty, pink, dirty, happy and ready to come home and take a 3 hour nap!!
