Zoo Days

We have enjoyed some sunny days around our rainy spring weather and have tried to hit up the zoo when we can.  Grandma Barb gave our family a zoo pass for Christmas, so we have tried to make it down at least once a month

The carousel finally opened up in March and for $1 you can't beat the happiness it brings to your kids 

Sophie's 1st ride....although she doesn't look to thrilled, she shouted "MOR" when the ride stopped

We headed down to the zoo another time with some friends and the lions were right up by the windows.  The lions have a large grazing area, so you don't get to see them up close much, so this was a treat

Another fun thing we got to watch was a Wallaby carrying around it's 6 month old baby.  The baby had never been out of the mother's pouch and on the morning we were there, it kept poking it's feet out and putting them onto the ground.  The workers thought for sure it was going to climb out for the first time that day.

Sophie was more than excited to be riding the carousal again

Since it was the month of April, they had some HUGE rabbits out of their exhibit to pet.  They were by far the biggest I've ever seen.  So glad for all the fun things we have at our small town Boise zoo.
