Last summer trip to the Zoo!

 Now that Kade is a bit older and walking, I wanted to get back to the zoo on a "quiet" day so he could explore and see some animals!
He was ready!


Brock and Kade both loved the giraffes! It's nice when we see them before they go out to the grassy area - we are so much closer. We also have to remember - don't go on Tuesdays - that's the only day of the week they don't let you feed the giraffes.

The boys sat and watched the Asian otters for awhile! They're always sleeping when we pass through, but this day they were wide awake and fiesty!


We also had a good view of the Sloth Bear. What an interesting animal - super long claws and big furry ears. They are not very large - a bit taller than Diesel, but with a bit more weight and fur!

This was also our first time checking out the new butterfly garden... which I also learned will only be open in the summer months. Boo! Sorry Seattle, Museum of Life & Science in Durham has a much nicer butterfly garden.

I told him he could blow gently!!

Brock is checking out the snake!

Kade enjoyed watching the toucans, but would jump every time they made their "caw caw". It was cute.


Brock was so cute and remembered that at the end of the zoo, there's a playground!

We also saw the new baby gorilla, 9 months old in August, but we were among quite a few people at that exhibit, so no good pictures. Another fun trip to our local zoo! :)
