It's a jungle in there

We took our first winter zoo trip a couple of weeks ago.  The weather was cold but not too chilly and we were once again battling cabin fever.  I gotta say, it was more fun than I expected - especially since it was six kids against one adult.  And yes, I survived intact.

This is the end of the trip and they are still smiling!!

For awhile we imagined we were in the tropics.  Then we went back outside and reality hit in the form of cold air.

If you ever want to let someone know they are slow tell them a sloth could do it faster.  I have never seen an animal move so slow in my life. 

We had seals swimming above us and polar bears enjoying the ice.

I found these in a cave making primitive markings

How do we get in?

Lunch time

Picnics are great (and cheap)

We almost missed this one - he was camouflaged

  All the boys could think about when they saw these rhinos was Ace Ventura

Monkey Love

People Love

Never smile at a crocodile....don't be taken in by his friendly grin, he's imagining how well you'll fit within his skin. 

Who knows what I'm talking about?

Anybody? 

Shannon:  "Aunt Brandi, come quick"

Me:  "What, what is it?"

Shannon:  "You have to come see this poor turtle who lost his shell!"
