Zoo pics

Yesterday I took the kids to the zoo. We had a good time and they were good listeners for the most part, which is crucial when I am on an outing with them by myself. ;)

This elephant was right next to us!




They have peacocks that wander all over the zoo. We saw this mommy with her three babies which were a bit hit.


Another baby. :)


The snakes are always a fun spot too.




My attempt to get a good shot of both kids. I've about decided it is impossible to get a picture of both of them with a good look on their face.


One of many 'rests' we took on random benches throughout the zoo.




For the first time, we saw two tigers. We always thought there was only one. They were on opposite sides of the fence and not happy about it.


G & B found a good high spot to watch the tigers.


Any trip to the zoo would be incomplete without a train ride.


Walking across the suspension bridge to the 'prehistoric park'.


This is Bow River that the bridge takes us across.
'Petting' the bear.
Gracie was watching a video all about bears...
while Bradley was just hanging out.
Another 'rest'.


It was a good time. We saw baby elephant, giraffe and peacocks. Unfortunately, the baby gorilla wasn't out this time. We were there for about 3 hours which was perfect since we've been there so many times, the kids know there way around. :)
