Here is my post on our trip to the zoo (back in JULY!!!) We went with Aunt Nicki, Kristian, and Grandma Gifford. We had a great time. Unfortunately we planned our zoo trip too early in the year and missed the baby elephant, it wasn't born until August. Maybe we should go back just to see the cute little animal. This is the pregnant mommy (remember elephants are pregnant for 20 - 24 months!)
At the elephant exhibit. Oakland was scared of this elephant giant because it made loud noises and squirted water from his trunk.
But he was oh so happy again when he got a hold of this cute little tiger.... We ended up buying it because he loved it so much.
Every statue we came to the kids wanted to stop and pose for a picture, then they would tell me to make sure and put it on my blog! How funny!
What a cute little gorilla baby she makes.
You can't go to the zoo without going on a train ride, or at least that is what my kids think! Oakland was SO tired by this point he could hardly keep his eyes open.
And a zoo trip is not complete without a ride on the merry-go-round.
Ivy, however, could have done without the ride. She was scared to death of it. she wouldn't get on any of the animals so we settled on this boring chair. It still took her half the ride to decide that she was o.k.
Austin was on the other end of the spectrum.... I think he was a LITTLE bored!
We also went to an awesome bird show, a reptile show, played on the playground, ate lunch by the elephants, and saw every animal there was too see! Needless to say they were exhausted when the day was over!

That zoo is great. Ours here is a little.... pathetic. Oooh, you should totally go again to see the baby elephant!! 24 months? Dang. I thought we humans had it bad.
It looks like you had a fun and busy summer. We'll look forward to seeing all of you in November. More details when it gets closer. I can't believe how big Oakland is and we haven't even met him yet.
i love the zoo. I can't wait to get down there and see the baby elephant.
