We went to the zoo.... in March

So back in March we took another trip to the zoo, and this time our friends Nate, Doreen, Aubree, and Sabrina came along. It was a blast, one of our best zoo trips! Adelynne and Amy loved sharing the day with their good friends, and even though it was a little cold that day, the animals were very active and a lot of fun to see.

This one was a dog shark in the shark petting exhibit. We have been several times to this exhibit and never seen a shark behave in this way, it was kind of scary. You can see from the picture that he isn't out of the water very far, but he would pop up on his tail and swim sideways along the edge of the pool to stare at us. It was neat to see!

Sylvia, (the little girl I watch during the week), came along with us to the zoo. At the shark pool she just wanted to jump in and swim with the sharks.

The polar bear was awake! He was even "talking" to us and pacing back and forth. (I think it may have been feeding time).

We told the girls that the bear wanted to eat them for lunch! They laughed.

We saw lots more of course, but these were all the pictures I took. The rhinos were also fun to see as they were running around and charging each other with their noses. We saw the elephants being taken on a walk around the zoo, and then later take a big elephant dump in its enclosure (the girls were very entertained by that)! It seemed that all of the animals liked the coolness in the air, except the baboons. They were huddled together in the alcove of the rocks looking miserable.
