The Fresno Zoo

We took the kids up to the Fresno Zoo last weekend with Kristen, Jordan, and Sydney.  Katelyn had a great time, she saw so many of the animals we read about in her books.  Luke had a great time too...sleeping. :)

Our first stop: the giant tortoise.  Kate has a book she loves about a turtle called Murray who does everything slowly so when she sees turtles she says, "slowly, slowly!"


Next were the elephants.  They were fun to watch, we got there right at feeding time.  


The elephants were one of the most popular for the girls!  Kate and Syd...such great buds!


I think the orangutans were Katelyn's favorite.  They were climbing all over the place and one of them even had a baby hangin on!




The tiger pretty much just stayed in this position despite Katelyn roaring at it to get up!


The giraffes were so cute!  


Kate and Mommy laughing at the giraffe's long purple tongue!


Kate stretching to see the flamingos better!


And all the while....our little zonker. 


Superdaddy...


Across the street was a little carnival.  She loves carousels.


...and bug rides...


...basically anything that moves!


It was a great...and exhausting...day!
