A great Sunday at the Zoo !

Amy and I took the boys to the zoo today, what fun ! It was gorgeous out and we got there right when it opened after meeting for a bagel to fill up everyones tummy for b-fast !We found a geo-cache that Aiden remembered them finding another time.

Garrett was just plain cute in his hat !

It was my first time seeing the Kimodo dragons, how cool they are. The new exhibit was neat, this was the laser cut out metal sign you walk under, really neat looking. They have been around for millions of years.
All you cotton candy lovers beware, check your bag before buying as we watched this smart bird peck a hole in this bag and then dip in for bite after bite !
This is actually the Kimodo dragon exhibit, the boys are climbing on the statue, the one we saw out is not quite as big. They are the worlds heaviest lizard.
We enjoyed the new back side of the elephant exhibit, you are quite close and one of the elephants was right there, he was busy playing with the rope with his trunk and putting his foot up on it. Ethan loved the elephants !
Ethan was at such a good age for the zoo, loves looking out to see what you are showing him. It wasn't long on the way home for him to be fast asleep !
Garrett walked a long way today, we had 2 strollers but he ran along with lots of energy most the time.
Aiden kept up with our fast walking and had fun on the first time we've gone on the train.
They celebrated the female Orangatan's 50th birthday yesterday, they are always fun to watch, they are building a new enclosure for the Orangutan family next to it. The monkeys over on the island gave us the best show, one was high up in a tall palm tree hanging by one hand and swinging around, all the sudden he slides down the palm frond, got to the bottom and leaped onto the roof of their shade cover, then swings around with arms and legs and tails grabbing pipes , he had the best time showing off for us and showing us how easy he can go from the high palm tree to the ground !
Here is Ethan with some ducks that came by, they really had their eye on his strawberry!
The childrens zoo has had so many improvements, we went into the petting part where the goats are and they have these cute little brushes the kids put on their hands to brush them.
We road the train at the end when we were all pooped, it was a very fun day at the zoo !
