I hadn't been in years, it's no secret I'm an animal-sadness weenie and I usually get bummed out watching all the animals in captivity. We had a blast, though, we went early in the morning (totally not my idea...I may have been very sleepy eyed at the beginning) which seems to be the ticket. The animals were super active and awake at that time of the day, the crowds were mellow and life was good!
Nothing wrong with actually riding the animals, unless your husband tries to throw you off, that is...
Some nice photo-bombing by Alex...
Let's check out some animals!
Lisa and I channeled our inner "Three's Company" pose at the flamingos:
Leigh and I practiced skiing on the incline people mover:
We all were obviously a little into the photo cutouts:
Robbio:
Birthday girl Karen:
And finally, Leigh and her all time favorite animal:
Baby Bennett was just at that age where he was really enjoying looking at stuff. He was too cute when the big fluffy fake panda came up to say hi:
At one point I had the bright idea to see how many people we could shove into one of those tiny little photo booths. The answer: 5. Our resulting picture was a wah wah wah letdown but we laughed and laughed. Here's us cramming in:
And the final result, you can only see one of poor Jason's eyes, Leigh was pretty squished, Bennett was traumatized, Karen's eye was the focus and I look like a fuzzy bank robbery picture in the back left:
The petting zoo was the best!
Oh yah, and we saw some animals that day too, I forgot to mention:
