Monday was the PERFECT day to do the zoo! We had amazing cool weather and the kids did wonderful! We arrived right at 9:00 and beat the rush. (I wouldn't want to be there in the afternoon!!!) We headed straight for the African Adventure which just reopened this month and found it to be very nice. The kids liked walking and exploring!
Grace was most excited to see the giraffes and we (Mom and Dad) got to feed them lettuce! 
What a tongue!!!
Cooper had fun pointing at the animals...
But, didn't want to get too close to any of them!!! 
We took a break for our picnic lunch. Cooper loves the Oreos! The wind picked up at lunch and Grace about went hysterical when it started to blow away a hat (which the family next to us found amusing), but once we caught it, she found it all very funny.
Back in the zoo, we headed for our train ride. (You'd think it would go somewhere to see animals... but no. Just into the woods and around a small lake.... but the kids liked it!)
Then we brushed some goats,
Played in the water,
and headed for home. We barely made it out of the parking lot!!
With them out so quickly, Tim and I were able to enjoy some Dairy Queen without having to share with them! The ladies at the drive through were even kind enough to whisper to us!!What a great day!!
