Spring Break pictures: The Wildlife Zoo

The infamous day of the 3 P's, Kyle, Maddie, and I had a terrific time at the Zoo. Here are a few of the shots we liked best.

Maddie and Kyle got on the sky lift.
I kept my motion-sick self on the ground.
We were all happy.

The view from the lift.
A very cool perspective.

They had many insane looking creatures.
Like the white alligator
(two of them actually, in separate habitats, in separate exhibits).

The hairy wart hog. Gross.
Somebody needs a hair cut.

The snoozing crocodile. Outside of the baby animal house.
Kind of weird to see cute baby porcupines and tiny wart hogs,
and exit to find a giant crocodile.

A pacing jaguar. He was hungry.
We did get to be around the snakes at feeding time.
And, Grandma, I know you hate snakes, even the thought of them,
but it was REALLY cool. Their reaction time is lightning fast!

Sweet little turtle family outside the baby animal house.

Hungry camel, eating his alfalfa.

This brilliant peacock was trying to find his female amidst all the people chaos.
What's crazy is that little girl in pink behind him,
she actually snuck up behind and touched him.
I promise you, I'd never do that to a fully displayed male peacock. SCARY!

The petting zoo was a favorite for Maddie, I think.
And my absolute favorite in the cage was this baby llama.
One little girl couldn't stop following it around to pet it,
because it was SO soft.

A happy, and very tired, group at the end of our day.
Kissed by the sun and entertained by the animals!
