The Zoo

Every Wednesday during the summer, the zoo stays open until 8:00 at night. So we decided to take advantage of the warm weather and enjoy the summer before it goes away. Summer is just going too stinkin fast, don't you think?

Here is my shy little girl, who hates getting her picture taken.

The kimodo dragon also enjoying the summer heat.

Ethan going on his first carousel ride. The zoo's carousel is beautiful, with all of the original horses on it. I think it is my favorite part of the zoo. Again, my shy girl. Love that smile!
Notice Ethan on the horse. He decided to take a risk and actually ride a horse. When the carousel started, the look of terror on his face was both hilarious and sad! But he enjoyed the ride, white knuckles and all.

Meeting a turtle. Maggie was fortunate enough to touch a Madagascan cockroach as well. Bubble boy!
Maggie climbing the jungle gym. She got all the way to the top - and then asked John to come up to help get her down.
At the peak!
Maggie thought this was King Louie from The Jungle Book.
