We went to the zoo! It was Christopher's first real time. (And of course, Michael's first time.) (see the elephant behind us?)
We saw baby Zuri. We went right when it opened, which is a great idea because around lunch time it was very crowded.
My sister Cambrai went with us.
A Golden Eagle was on a leash when we first went in.

Christopher compared to an ape. You know the difference between a monkey and an ape is a monkey has a tail and an ape doesn't. We saw an ape on the doing the monkey bars. Christopher got a kick out of that because it is a recent accomplishment if his.
My sister Danielle and her husband Keith also went with us. Michael liked watching these really big turtles crawling-just like him.
I wish we could have seen Christopher ride this one. Oh, and on our way home Christopher said he was surprised the zoo was outside. He thought it was going to be like the Bean museum (taxedermy animals).
We watched this one crawl over to this clump of grass. (There was a lawn near where he started out.) It seemed to take so much effort to get there, but we watched him take several bites, savoring the grass.

Michael loved watching a bird walk back and forth on a log. We felt bad moving on to the next thing.
Christopher and Uncle Keith being prairie dogs. Can you see the prairie dog on the left, eating his lunch?
We at lunch by the prairie dogs, cougars, and play ground.
Michael was roaring like a tiger, but by the time I got the camera out, he wouldn't do it anymore. This tiger was sleeping in the lean-to. Three other tigers were sleeping at the top, where another people trail was. We saw those tigers first.
Christopher was very excited to see the giraffes.
There were 4.
Tall skinny door. Christopher was also excited to see the crocadiles. He was happy to see 3 of them-2 adults & 1 baby. One thing that surprised me about this zoo is there weren't any lions or bears.
