2014 Zoo Trip

This Labor Day Weekend we visited the Sedgwick County Zoo! It had been two years since our last visit. It's hard for me  to believe how much the boys have changed in that time!

Here we go! Ready for the zoo!

Garrett's highlight of the day was feeding a baby giraffe! (Giraffe starts with "G", which makes it Garrett's favorite animal.)

Apparently This is the face you make when being chased by a lion!

Reece is demonstrating what most of the animals were doing on our visit. We couldn't understand why they weren't more excited to see us!?!

If you look beyond this "cheese" grin you might see a pair of American Bald Eagles. 

Hangin' out in the shade. 

Garrett also enjoyed watching the penguins zoom by. 

Reece was more interested in the lizards and snakes. (Not a good sign for this mama.)

At the end of the zoo visit we hit the gift shop and began the hunt for a zoo souvenir that wouldn't break our budget. Luckily, dad spied a vendor selling inflatable animal toys 2/$5. Perfect! They even had a GREEN monkey. Reece will tell you, "Geen my favorite color". So this made him happy. Picking out the perfect green monkey took some time, but we think he made the perfect choice!

I'm pretty sure this is the sign of a perfect outing with the boys.
