Zoo Fun (Memorial Day)

So I know this is way late, but I just wanted to blog about our Memorial Day fun at the Cameron Zoo in Waco, TX. We took a little friend of Andrew's with us. They had so much fun seeing all the cool animals. Here are some pictures.

The first thing we saw was the galapolos turtles. The boys were just in awe at how big they were.

The boys liked looking at the big birds.

Then there was a little kids play area that we stopped at. There was a tube that looked like a snake. In this picture the boys are going into the snake's mouth. TOO CUTE!!

On the way to the zoo the boys watched Finding Nemo so as soon as they saw these blue fish they both got so excited and yelled Dori. TOO FUNNY!!
The boys were very interested in the alligators. Andrew's friend kept asking me with each animal if they were good or bad. With the alligator I said they were good but only in the zoo. =) What would you have said?

We weren't able to get a picture of it, but this alligator all of the sudden swam over toward the boys and they freaked out. Jon and I had to hold in our laughter.

The bears weren't very exciting at all. The boys kept on hitting the glass and asking us to make the bears move. TOO BAD!
Here are the sea otters. We spent more time here b/c they were just being so playful and fun. Andrew is at the very edge of this picture b/c once he saw there was a slide here that is where he was off to.

There were too many people around to get a good picture of Andrew on the slide that went through the sea otter area. TOO COOL!!

Seeing the leopard was cool b/c it was right up against the glass.

Over by the bison there were these teepees. Andrew loved going inside them. In fact he loved it so much in there we had to physically go in that drag him out so we could go see other animals. Also I thought it was funny that we wanted to carry the zoo map the whole time. He never put it down the whole time, until his friend wanted a turn so then he had to share. But the moment his friend was done it was back in Andrew's hand. FUNNY!
Andrew's friend was really good and would hold our hand but Andrew just couldn't contain himself and would run every chance he got.
Here is daddy and Andrew by the giraffes. This zoo was great b/c we were able to get pretty close to the animals.

Elephants are Andrew's favorite animal right now. He has his arm up b/c that is what he does when we ask him what the elephant sounds like. He also tries to blow like an elephant but instead spits all over. We are working on not spitting though.
By the end of the zoo the boys were so tired. They fell asleep on the way home, but woke up b/c they were hungry so we had a fun little lunch at Sonic. The toy was a tatter zoo animal which was the perfect ending to a fun zoo day.
