Spring Break - the zoo

So we decided last minute to go to the zoo before we headed out to Woodland Park to see our friends Nate and Amanda. We didn't leave near enough time to go all over the zoo, so we each picked an animal to go see. Chloe picked the giraffe, of which there were a bunch of AND we got to feed them...so cool. I know you can do that at several zoos now, but this is the first time the girls were at all interested and wanted to do it (Caleb has never and probably never will be interested - somewhat like his mom).
We bought these crackers and stupidly gave the giraffe the entire cracker right away...would have been nice to break it and spread the feeding around a little....lesson learned...
Check out the tongue on that giraffe...Keira was thrilled that he licked her...then was done and didn't want to have anything to do with them...
Chloe however, was facinated by the giraffes and didn't want to leave....we bought her a giraffe charm necklace that was so cute, the chain broke pretty quickly, so we have to get her a new chain, and when we do, I doubt we will be able to get her to take it off.

I chose the lions and was thrilled that they were out. In Dallas, they are always hiding in the shade, so you can never see them.
This is just random, there was this peacock walking around the monkey building....would have been cool to to see him spread his feathers...

Caleb chose the penguins who were quite boring to watch, they must have been getting ready to take a nap or something, they din't move...can they sleep standing up???maybe they were already asleep....
Every building we went into smelled really bad.....you know like animals....so I couldn't resist taking this picture.
Keira and Josh chose the monkeys. They were probably the most entertaining as always. This was a mom, and her baby, we stayed and watched them play for quite awhile.
This guy cracked me up, looks like the glass was cool or something and he was hot...
Just chillin!
Again, can't wait to go back and check the whole zoo out!
