Zoo Time


We spent Saturday at the Cincinnati Zoo with Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin and Mamaw and Papaw. Here are some of our favorite moments for the day...

The great thing about this zoo are the live animals all around. The kids and daddy loved playing with these tortoises.

Tate said this statue was like "me and daddy"...

This is one of my favorite pics. Tate walked up to this gator and decided he would put himself in his jaws. Too funny!!!


And of course, Lily needed a moment with her Aunt Erin...

The greatest part of the whole day was definitely in the manatee tank. It happened to be feeding time!!! So the kids were able to watch the scuba divers feed and clean their tanks.


The first thing Tate said to this lady was "Hey...isn't he supposed to be sleeping?" Leave it to my brilliant six year old to know that owls are nocturnal...


We missed the giraffe feeding, but the kids loved how close they could get to them.

And of course mom and dad have to have their moment with the elephants...
Of course, a 12 hour day at Kings Island and a napless day at the zoo, does leave us a little unpleasant at times...

But, all in all, it was an awesome day with our wonderful family.
