Lowry Park Zoo

This is how to go to the zoo: use a pass, take your brother to help with the babies, then have your friend meet you there. That way you can take pictures while the babies each have someone to play with! Oh, and you have to get the big snow cones at the end to share after a hot HOT day!

Rhinos

They got to watch the monkeys go to get their food from the lady who pushed fruit through the chain link fence. Fascinating!

Penguins in hot Florida?! They're from Africa. The exhibit opened this summer!A whole Elephant family! Look at the babyWe thought it would be pretty cool to let the babies feed the giraffes, but . . . Dylan was scared to death! Look at Malia's opposite reaction! She fed him a cracker and wanted to do it again.

Dylan was a bit skeptical about riding on the cammel. He started to cry, then remembered he was supposed to be a tough guy.Malia went 1st and loved every seccond of the ride.It was such a hot day. I knew the zoo had a play area w/ water for the kids so we changed them in their swimsuits and splashed with them some. They started out with their sun hats on . . . but when they got wet . . . Dylan was done w/ his. Luckily it got overcast at that point. Who knew that water spouts and holes could be son entertaining?

Dylan likes to stick his finger anywhere it will fit. Every kid likes to try to run away at amusement parks, right? He was playing hide 'n seek behind one of the big boulders. He looks skinny here, but as you can see in all the other pictures, he's still got his buda belly.Did I mention the big snow cones? YUM! We shared two. Look at what a good share-er Malia is! And look at Dylan's huge mouth!A fun time at the zoo! Dylan napped in the car on the way to church youth night, then was wide awake for our Wednesday get-together at Andre's. What a busy day!
