Goin' to the zoo

Today we went to Woodland Park Zoo with the Carters. It was great fun, great weather, and lots of animals to see.

The boys pause for a break while we watch the elephants. We had a GREAT view of the elephants. One was right in front of us, doing some sort of elephant-step-aeorobics routine (he even paused for a water break halfway through). Unfortunately my camera seems to be having some lighting issues and most of my photos today turned out very dark and my elephant pictures didn't turn out at all! :(

Monica LOVED seeing the pink flamingos. Because they're pink of course!

This is seriously the weirdest animal on the face of the earth. It's like a half hippo, half cow, half aardvark, half elephant and yeah, just strange. (It's called a tapir by the way)

Snack time!

Four little kids and one big rock!


This must be the monkey cages.

Sleepy lions.

Apparently hippos are one of the most dangerous animals on the planet. These guys, however, looked much more interested in floating around the pool and getting a tan than attacking any humans.

Goofy girls!

Thanks to Nanie and Grandpa K for the zoo membership. We will use it LOTS!
