The Zoo in July


The day after we got home from Chicago, I took a vacation day from babysitting and we headed out to the zoo with our good friends, the Trohas.

River's Edge is such a great feature of the park. It's really shady, the exhibits are au naturel, and the one-way traffic combine to make it a great place to hang out. Here's our rhino - it's pretty rare that you ever see much of him besides his backside.

Of course the hippo exhibit is my personal favorite. It's so fun to see such huge animals THIS CLOSE to you.





Logan, Cooper and Reagan hanging out on the cobra. I have soooo many pictures of this cobra with kids climbing all over it!

Now Claire wants a piece of the action.

One of the little elephants was out that day with mama. We actually had a brand new baby elephant born this year. They announced the name the day we were there: Kenzi.




We always finish up our time in River's Edge with a stop in the "cave." From behind you could almost believe that Reagan and Logan were teenagers. *sniff* They are getting so big!!



It was a little warm that day, so we took a break to cool off at the misting station!

Little Louis got a push-up to help cool off!


Of course we have to finish our time at the zoo with a train ride! What a crew this is, eh?


I love to see my kiddos sitting side by side so nicely!
Always a fun time at the zoo!

Love you so much guys!

Mama
