Labor Day at the Zoo

Today we took Bridger, Macie and Owen to the Zoo. Owen could care less about what was going on, he pretty much slept the whole time. I had him in the Moby wrap so that could have had something to do with it. When we go to the zoo we like to go early because the animals are so active. Today wasn't any different and with it being a cooler day they were out and about. The Zoo wasn't too crowded until around noon, but there were still quite a few people there today. When we left people were parking down the street. Another reason to go right when the zoo opens.



The owl the zoo keeper is holding is full grown but so little. Bridger loves it when the birds are out with the zoo keepers.



Baby Zuri is one of Macie's favorite animals to see. It is also grandma's and mom's favorite. She is so cute and playful!



Dad had to lift Macie up to see baby Zuri.



Bridger posing for the camera, I never have to ask him twice to smile. He is getting so big, he walked the entire zoo today with out someone having to carry him or without the wagon.



The Rhino's were close to the window today. Bridger use to be scared of them but we told him they just wanted a kiss and now when he sees them he laughs about it.



The kids being silly and kissing the Rhino.



Aunt Airen and grandma came (grandma wouldn't get in the picture)
Macie didn't want her picture taken because I wouldn't let her climb on the Rhino...



... so dad had to hold her up there so we could get a family picture taken.



The tortoise's were even out and about and not hiding in their shells. He popped his head out to say hello while we were there.



The crocodile's were out basking in the sun, perfect day for basking.



I love going early in the day because the tigers are so active in the morning. We made it for their feeding. All four were actively looking for their meat and bone. It was cool.



The kids were happy even when we left. We ended the day on the train.
The maps were enough for them today, they didn't even ask for anything at the gift shop.

Bridger said it was a good day to spend his first holiday away from school (he loves it so much he told us Friday he wasn't looking forward to the holiday and he would rather go to school.)
