**Word of warning....this post contains probably close to 50 pictures so be prepared**
So this is Kimbri while we were waiting for my mom who was in line getting tickets for the zoo. I decided to have her wear her pink and zebra print bow that my friend Diana gave her. Zebra print... come on, it's soooo fitting for a day at the zoo :)
I'm not sure what animal this was. In this picture whatever animal this is just looks like a dark brown or black blob. Haha! But Kimbri was very interested in it!
Olivia, Bridger, and Enoch... sorry Enoch, I cut off part of your face in the picture.

After seeing probably half of the animals at the zoo we took a little break at some picnic tables and had a little lunch. Yum!
The GIRL cousins!!! And they were even matching! Pink and white striped outfits :) In the first picutre Kimbri was looking but Oaklee's eyes were closed and in the second picture Oaklee was looking and Kimbri was looking away :) But these girls are super adorable either way!!
After lunch the kids had to spend some time on the metal rhino.

| Unfortunately Kimbri was not able to sit by herself on the rhino :) |
 |
| Bridger loved the riding in the wagon around the Zoo! |
Next we visited the indoor area where there were tons of different snakes, spiders, and even.... a sand cat? I had never seen or heard of one of those before. And in the middle there is a room with birds flying around and turtles hanging out in the dirt under the walkways.
Then we visited the giraffes....one of my favorite zoo animals!
I believe this was the gorilla area....

After most all of the animals we went to the carousel. And all the kids loved it! Kimbri was asleep the first time around but here we are: Olivia helping Bridger sit on the polar bear, Oaklee in the middle and I was in the back. To the right of the picture is Enoch on a tiger.
Here's a better shot of Enoch on the tiger:
I always loved these as a kid! Where you get to go inside a cave thing and poke your head out. These kids all seemed to have fun doing this do.

After that we crossed this bridge to the park where the kids went down the slide, sat on the fake crocodile, went down the slide, sat on the big play spider, and sat in enormous eggs and just had a great old time. Kimbri woke up just in time to do some playing herself :)
 |
| Bridger is such a handsome little boy! |

Some egg pictures... sitting in the egg was a major hit! They loved it!

and in the egg.
More crocodile pictures. In the second picture down Oaklee and Bridger had a blast putting wood chips in the crocodiles mouth:)

After playing at the little park area for quite a while we all headed to the little train that goes around the Zoo. Kimbri kept grabbing at the tickets and had to have one ticket in each hand....
All of us on the train!

And to end the day we all went one more time on the carousel. Kimbri got to come this time since she had finally woke up from her nap. Kimbri is sitting on an Okapi....which I had never heard of...and later found out that although it has markings like a Zebra on its legs, it's more closely related to the giraffe. Anyway... know you know what an Okapi is and here is Kimbri sitting on one. She loved the carousel.
And on our way out of the Zoo Enoch was just dying to have his picture taken on the trunk of the big metal elephant :) We had so much fun spending a day at the Zoo!!
