Promised Pictures

I am not quite sure what Cherish and Jake were looking at, nor do I care to. We were in my LEAST favorite part of the zoo, where all the creepy-crawly things live. Unfortunately, this is one of my children's favorite parts of the zoo.
Yuck.
This wolf loved to stare and pace around his pen. It was awesome to watch.
My children are big fans of tigers. They love posing with the tiger statue each time we go.
This mama giraffe was on guard watching all the people watch her baby. It wasn't like the last time we went to the zoo. It was quite entertaining, walking around the zoo with family, and then having a lovely summertime rain and thunder storm happen right outside the giraffe pen. Our family, along with a bunch of other people, took refuge inside the giraffe building until the storm was over. There was a certain giraffe who didn't blink the entire time the storm was occuring. Quite funny.
Here is the newest addition to the zoo! Such a cute baby elephant! It was so cute watching her wake up (quite suddenly, like a little kid waking up from a bad dream) and then running with her noodle-like trunk over to her mother for a quick snack, then flopping back down to finish her nap.
This cute teenager is telling the girls and Jake about an elephant's lower jaw. The girls were fascinated with the jaw and the elephant's teeth.
Now he is showing the girls different types of elephant and rhino skin.
Right as we got to the zoo, we sat down for lunch. While eating, little Jake suddenly appeared at my side and showed me his missing bottom tooth. The children found this statue of a rhino and saw other children climbing up on it to get their picture taken. They immediatly wanted to do the same. It took us a few minutes to help little Jake climb up onto the back of the slippery rhino.
