Zoo

We went to the Zoo!  Here's a weird bit of trivia, did you know that Hippo's secrete their own sunscreen?

My girls are little lions - ROAR!!!

Skyler thinks all birds are ducks (so she quacks at them all) and all four legged big animals are cows (so she moo's at them).  She does know cats and dogs too, so the lions got meowed at. 

Sometimes the statues are just as much fun as the real thing.

Whole giraffe family. 

Which one is real?

The jaguar shows us his teeth.

The girls were very excited to see the zebras.  Unfortunately, most of my pictures of them the fence is more in focus than the zebra. LOL!

This friendly donkey came over to get a scratch from the girls.

This grizzly bear is balancing an apple on the back of his paw to eat it.  Very cool to watch him eat the apples.

See what I mean about the fence?  I had camera envy today - my little point and shoot can't compare with the giant zoom and wonderful lenses of the more expensive cameras in this setting.

However, I do actually like that the fence is in focus in this picture.

My sister caught this cool shot too.  The male lion was super lazy and wouldn't run for his meat, wouldn't even walk very far for it!

Skyler wasn't interested in the lion and tiger feeding.  Instead she dug in the dirt and tried to make herself look like a tiger - imagine my surprise! LOL

Swans always remind me of the fact that Snuffy always said that if he had a son he wanted to name it Swan!  What???? R U Crazy???  The ugly duckling jokes alone would cause major damage to the psyche!  I love Snuffy but there is no chance in H-E-C-K! LOL Any boy name suggestions?  We're getting down to the wire and a girls name has been chosen!
