The Zoo For The Last Time

 I know I've said this before, but I absolutely LOVE the Idaho Falls zoo.  It's not very large, but I think it's a great size, actually big for a small town zoo.  I am really going to miss it.


After visiting the Potato Museum with Cami and her girls we headed back to the house to visit and catch up.  After about an 30 minutes at the house we decided to leave the kids in the watchful hands of Samantha and Sarah and we headed to Cafe Rio for lunch.  Yummy!  It was so nice to go out without kids.  Thanks Cami.


When we got back the kids were restless and wanted to go do something.  We decided to take them to the zoo.  It was a ton of fun.  The weather was beautiful, there were a number of baby animals, and the kids had friends to hang out with.  It was the perfect outing.

These pelicans were awesome.  They kept trying to eat things out of people's hands, mainly cell phones, sunglasses, and the kids water bottles.

The kids were so excited to see the peacock in all his glory.

Gracie just had to say hi to him.

Love this picture of a baby llama. (Stole it from Cami's blog.)

Petting a big llama.

Ben took a little time to play on the mini playground.

Adam enjoying a little time with the goats even though he couldn't go in.

We let the kids go in the goat cage to pet them.  They were fine at first, but then some of the goats decided to play.

OK maybe they were having a little bit of a fight.

I've seen goats do that on TV, but never in person.  We watched for a little bit and then decided it was probably best to get the kids out.

Of course we had to have a picture on the tiger.  Too bad Cami's oldest, Darin, was at scout camp and couldn't make it.  Ben sure missed him.

Having a drink in the lions mouth is fun, but it's even better 3 at a time (with 1 on top.)

When it was time to see the baby zebra, Gracie wanted a better look, one without the fence in the way.

Hannah and Julia had to get in on the fun.

If you look close you can see the cute baby swans.

The zoo was a lot of fun and we ended the day with a trip to McDonald's to eat and play in the play area.  It was so much fun to see Cami and her girls.  I love the time we get to spend with them.  Thanks for coming up.
