At the zoo with Grammy & Papa

So on our last day with my family we decided to take Aiden to a smaller zoo in our area. We had a really good time and got really close to some of the animals. It was a great afternoon, so enjoy the pictures! Grabbing a power nap before we get there

This was super fun...there was a tunnel that went under the water that kids could crawl through to see the otters under and around them. Here the otter is standing on top of the tunnel with Aiden and Grammy underneath

What kid doesn't love to feed the goats?

This Lemur was so cute-Boo is trying to pose like him :)

Aiden made friends with this little girl, they were so cute together. Our families had to stick together for awhile because they would just follow the other everywhere

A red eyed tree frog-Kiki this is for you :)

monkeying around (you can see the monkey up by the tree)

The Bald Eagles are so majestic-I don't think I'll get the opportunity to see one this up close in the wild-or ever for that matter.

There's "Linda the Llama" cooling off
Ok, so when we saw this, I asked Aiden what animal it was, expecting him to say "bird". No my son says, "Mommy, that's a rhea!" Holy Cow! Sure enough, I look at the description and it says "Rhea". I didn't even know that!

So then we get to the kangaroo, and I ask Boo what animal was this? And he says "Mommy, that's a Joey!" Well, close enough for me! Gotta love that Diego :)

Papa, Aiden, and Grammy :)

Yeah, glad there is a cage between us and him! But they are so beautiful :)

That picture of Aiden and grammy underwater was cool. I wish they had something like that at our zoo.
