The zoo

Gaga wanted to take the boys to the little zoo in town.  Since it was going to be a hot day, we tried to get there early, but we were moving a bit slower than we had planned. We had a nice stroll through the zoo and stopped often in the shade for water breaks.

Gaga and Karsten were leading the way to the zoo.  How cute are they?  


We kept trying to show Karsten the fish you could see swimming in the water, but he was distracted by the swans.


The peacocks were walking all over the zoo and we kept hoping they would show their feathers, but no such luck.  This one hopped up on the fence when Karsten walked over to get a close look at him.




This little monkey was swinging everywhere by his tail.  It was amazing how he would swing, then use his hands and feet to climb, then start swinging again!


Karsten enjoyed watching him.


Headed over to check out some more monkeys.




This sign was in front of the chimps - do you suppose they had to add this because a chimp threw 'other material' at someone?  EWWWW.


The lions were so pretty and majestic.  They stalked around their cage and would not look at or acknowledge us.


Watching the tigers who were stretched out in the shade trying to stay cool!


The stroll around the zoo put Liam to sleep!


They both looked at me at the same time - win!!


I really like this one!


Karsten sweet talked Gaga into three rides on the horsey.


And Liam slept through the whole thing!






We stopped at the water park area on the way out.  Just when Karsten got up the nerve to run through the water, it turned off.


After a nap to recover from the fun at the zoo, we had Gaga's kool-aid popsicles before we went over to Kevin and Nancy's for dinner.
