The Zoo with Granny and Papa

This morning we woke up early and went to the zoo. We were there for a record breaking 3.5 hours!!! Papa bought us all day passes on the tram, which proved to keep us entertained in more than one way! It also kept us refreshed and provided a nice break from the walking.

Finley and the meerkats:


A giant hippo. The darker they are, the older they are! !!!!
Finley checking out the panda bears (which aren't really bears at all)


What a silly girl...
This is the first time Finley has gotten to ride the carousel at the zoo. She loved it so much, she had to go twice (once with Mommy and once with Granny). We actually remembered cash today, which is why we were able to ride!






Hanging out with Papa...
.... and helping him get a drink....

On our way to see more animals..... aren't these next pictures sweet?


Trying some blue slush....

Back from the smelly rhinos with Granny...
More slush.....
This is our favorite exhibit. You can see the sea lions and the polar bears under water. They are soooo cool!




Back on the tram, riding to the front of the zoo....
A sleepy Finley and a tired Granny:
The statues outside of the zoo are dressed up for Halloween. We liked this alligator.

Check out the exercising hippo... Haha.
What a fantastic day!!!! Thanks Granny and Papa!!!!
