FREE ZOO DAY

Each year Hogel Zoo does FREE ZOO DAY the last Wednesday of the month from November-February.  Since Christian had off this week of school he was able to come with us this year as well.  The boys loved seeing it all.  And the weather wasn't half bad either.

 I hadn't ever seen an elephant get a drink before so that was really cool I thought.

Christian hadn't ever been that close to a Rhinoserous, and thought that was neat.

The tail on this Red Kangaroo was so big!  No wonder it can balance them so well.

 It was so humid in here it felt so good!  Pretty birds and huge turtles!

I've been to this Zoo many times and haven't really been able to see the Wolves very active before.  It was neat to see them walking around a bunch.

The boys loved the snakes, turtles and spiders!  YES, they are such boys! (Don't know how much they would still like them if they weren't in the glass tanks though. :) )

The Tiger was probably the highlight of the trip.  What a pretty animal.

I love this picture!  He looks so vicious, but I caught a picture right before he yawned!  

Yeah, that's a yawn, not a roar.

Glad one of them was active for us!

Best buddies...most of the time!

I couldn't believe how long the giraffe's tongue was!  Fascinating to watch him eat.

Pretty Bald Eagle.

The Gorillas were indoors, so pics of them behind the glass wasn't really working.  But Jaden really liked all the different kinds we saw.  Here is our monkey family!

What a fun family field trip to the zoo!
