Boo at the Zoo

While my mom was in town, she was able to spend 2 solid days with the boys.  Then the third day I took off work and we headed to the zoo.  One it was a break that my mom needed and Scott needed more time to get over pneumonia. 

We got to the zoo in the morning and beat most of the crowds/field trips.  It was the perfect day to be there.  It was cool and sunny.  We first went to check out the new polar bear exhibit.  The entrance to see the bear had changed since our last visit, we didn't have to go through the penguins and didn't have to wait in long lines. 

The polar bear was eating a small pumpkin and then tried to grab another one and fell in the water.  It was pretty fun to sit and watch this huge bear.

 The zoo was completely decorated with Halloween and Fall décor throughout.  Gabe wasn't too sure of a lot of the Halloween stuff.  The witches legs coming up from the ground confused him the most.  And he wanted to take of lot of it with him.  He tired to pose for a couple pictures, but gave up fast.

 We made it over the check out the seal lions.  It wasn't too crowded when we got there and there was one seal that was putting on a show.  He would follow the zoo worker every time the guy moved.  Then he would just stay right behind the guy till he moved again.

Off to see the monkeys and proof that Bennett was there

 We made it all the way out to big cat country and the lions, tigers and jaguar were out to see. 


Gabe was checking out the donkey's

"look Grammie, Giraffes!"

 Overall, it was a great morning at the zoo.  Both boys had a lot of fun and were exhausted afterwards.  Next time we hope Daddy can join in the fun.
