While we were up North for state volleyball and football the Saturday after all those events had taken place we took the kids to Hogle Zoo! Baylee is my animal lover! She was completely fascinated, don't get me wrong Carter loved it as well but we have been to a ton of Zoo's and I think this time Baylee finally knew and could comprehend what she was seeing!
Watching the giraffe's take laps!
It's fun when you catch the animals doing something or even moving about instead of just laying around!
They didn't want to move on to the next animal!
Checking out the lions!
The famous lion drinking fountain wasn't working, Carter was way bummed!
They loved being able to play with all the statue's of the animals along our way!
Baylee loved the babies!
Carter loved being able to ride them!
So when you get close to this elephant he starts making noises and then spits air out his trunk! Well as you can see both my kids were standing right in front of the trunk and he sprayed his air the face on Baylee was absolutely priceless and about the funniest thing I have ever seen and Carter thought it was so funny he kept going back for more!
Watching the elephant wander around!
He never got to close but he was constantly moving!
This one was a little more difficult to ride!
Carter kept slipping!
Carter thought it was pretty cool to finally see eagles since they are so hard to find these days!
This sea lion was chatting away! Carter thought he was pretty funny!
"Wrestling" the polar bears!
I love the underwater exhibit!
Baylee was quite afraid that the bear was close to her! Even though he wasn't moving she was petrified to get close! I think McKay shoved her forward so I could get a picture!
Comparing how tall they are to the bears!
Riding the tigers!
Carter was thrilled to finally see the wolf! Not just one but two! They are always hiding when we have gone before but this time they were up and moving! I am not sure why he loves wolves so much, maybe because they are on a ton of our clothing or it's our school mascot or what but he thinks they are way awesome!
After we saw all the animals we headed over to the train! Carter wanted to do that from the beginning but we talked him into seeing the animals first!
Checking out the zebras on the ride!
More lions!
After the train ride we headed to the carousel which Baylee loved and screamed when it was time to get off!
Baylee got the ugly animal because Carter was determined to ride a polar bear!
They both loved it! They could have gone around all day!
Love these fun trips with my family!
Makes it even more enjoyable when the kids love it and are good to! Seriously though my kids love to vacation as much as McKay and I do!
We had such a fun time and I expect to be back again!
