Zoo Day!!

So 19 months ago we told Elijah and Caden that we would go to the zoo. In fact it was March 20th and the boys could harldy wait. We told them once we came back from the doctor's office that we would head to the Knoxville Zoo. (I had a OBGYN appt that day). Needless to say I went into the office and then straight over to the hospital because I was in labor. Elijah and Caden have been patiently waiting since then to visit the zoo!! Such bad parents I know!!

Well, last Saturday we finally got the kids to the Indianapolis Zoo and they had a great time. Here are a few pictures from the day.
It was feed the giraffe time, so they were UP CLOSE and PERSONAL and the boys loved it.

They also had "watch the elephants get a bath", so we made our way over to watch that. We got to touch the elephants and that was fun. The skin is so tough, wrinkly and hairy. Kind of gross.

The animals were very active. The cheetah's were up and walking around and the bear in this picture was playing with a big bone(the blurry object near his paws), and the zebra's were roaming around too. Makes the zoo more fun when the animals are active.

Liam sure enjoyed those Rhino's!!

We also got to pet the sharks. How cool is that!! I had to help Caden as his arms were just to short to reach them. He did finally get to touch one and thought it was pretty cool. I think this was probably my favorite part.

Here are the boys with the sea lions.

We also watched the dolphin show which was good, but REALLY short. No pictures though.

We are glad we had super weather and a fun time at the zoo. Sure hope we get the boys back there soon. They had fun.
