It was a ZOO-tiful day!!

I am so grateful that summer decided to stick around a little longer than normal, because everything that was on our summer to do list, didn't quite get accomplished. So we took advantage of the great weather and headed to the zoo!!
I think Cooper truly believed that Spiderman had been to the zoo and spun one of his mighty webs...
Coming out of the SPOOKY OLD TREE...

Oh to be as tall as a giraffe, here is daddy and Cooper trying to measure up!

Even Squishy was enjoying all of the animals!!
What a grrrrreat time we had with the lions and tigers and bears...oh my!

Crocodile Coopee

And the highlight of our trip...the 3 minute train ride!!! I wish I had a video to share of this whole experience, because I have never seen ANYONE so beside themselves with happiness, thrill, and joy. He had to give the conductor a ticket, the conductor yelled, "ALL ABOARD!!", blew the whistle quite a few times, and away we went!!
And who would've known that a huge granite ball with water would be another huge highlight. Who needs animals when you have slides that look like snakes, granite balls with water, and a miniature train?

I love this drinking fountain... I remember it from my days of childhood... so does Steve.

And I don't know why, but my favorite animal at the zoo is the elephant, I just can't help to think that they are so cute and huge at the same time!
