The kids and I decided to kill a couple of hours at the zoo today. It was super humid but no wind and no rain so we grabbed the cooler, some sodas, ice, and a bag of chips.
This one repeatedly swam right in front of us and turned
a perfect back flip! It was really fun to watch him do it
over and over again!
After a quick stop at the polar bears; we focused on getting to see the things we've missed in our past few visits.
We rode the train through the African Savana exhibit!
$2.00 per person/money well spent!
The giraffe enclosure was so tall, it was hard to get a good shot of the giraffe's. I had to try, they are my favorite!
I wish I would have taken notes on all the birds and animals.
But I was too busy taking pictures with my super awesome camera!

The zeebra and wildebeast were in together; Brady and Lexie had to make a lot of Madagascar 2; Escape to Africa comments! We even saw Mort! Not on the train ride though! :-)
The guide was very informative and it was so cool to see so many animals and birds up close!
This was our 4th trip to the zoo since we moved here & someone always poops out before the primates and fish. So today we were determined to get those two thngs in before we got tired!
The male silverback was worth the wait! The Orangatans were behind glass and there was a super bad glare--I am now on a mission to get a decent pic.

I got an ok shot of this one.
One of the Orangatans was the hugest, ugliest thing I have ever seen. I did get a shot of his hand and part of him.
They have the exhibit set up so that the Orangatans can push a button to spray the crowd with water! They weren't over by the button so we are anxious to go back and see if they ever do it.
I was really happy with this shot of the octopus. It was super dark in there and my flash didn't glare.

Both of these were taken in the darkened acquarium with only the tank lighting for light.
I tried my mini tripod with this one. I think it came out ok; too bad the dollar store P.O.C. broke! Grrrr... Oh well, the shots are still awesome and it was a great day at the zoo!
