These guys were front row joes!

How cute is miss Annika in all her freckle glory?

Just can't get enough of her.

Beckham again, monkeying around

The bald eagle, Very patriotic.

The Tiger, it was huge

The baby and Mama Elephants!

So stinking cute. I could have sat there all day and admired her!

The End

No, really, that's the end!

The first weekend of summer my Mom and I took the kids to the zoo. My Mom purchased a Grandparents pass for the next year. The kids are thrilled. When we pulled in my spirits were dampered a little bit by the amount of cars already lined up in the parking lot. It was busy, but we managed to scoot around people.

The zoo is nothing like what I recall from my childhood. They have done so many improvements with more plans in the future. I'm glad that it's busy and thriving. I just wish I could go when there aren't so many other people. I like to pretend I'm the only one there. I try and avoid crowds at all costs.

We had a great time watching the bird show, the tiger drink and pace, the baby elephant eat from the trainers hand, and bats eye us from just feet above our heads. It was a great trip and we can't wait for our next visit!

Thanks Grandma, your the greatest!

While we were walking up to Nature's Nightmare Exhibit a woman pulled in line just ahead of us. She ended up reserving that spot in line for her Mother and her 3 sisters plus all their children. I quickly became annoyed. Why do I do that? I get so irritated when people do the same things that I would do. Maybe that's why I get a little nervous when I actually pull something off similar to that. I try to avoid peoples eyes and sush my children. Oh the small quirks in society.
