EEWW!! They swim in their POO!!!!

YEAH!!! Playtime. They have an awesome petting zoo and play area that was finally completed a couple of years ago. Kaitlyn wouldn't hold still for a picture she was so excited to go play. Matthew was just thirsty and wanted to get out of the sun.
This part grossed out mommy. Feeding Giraffes their crackers. They have 11inch black tongues. Where's the sanitizing goop???????
Kaitlyn all morning kept saying she wanted to see the Hippos!!!! They are her favorite.
They swim in Poo Water? That's disgusting! Mom look, there's poo in their water!

I have to say that of all the zoos I've been to USA and Europe included, this is the best zoo ever. We started out in the African Safari where we fed Giraffes. Visited the Asian area to visit the tigers and leopards. Peeked at the wolves, fed birds, and growled at the grizzlies. The only thing we couldn't do was the SkyRide. It's like a ski lift that carries you from one side of the zoo to the other and you can see everything from above. The weather started turning, we heard thunder and decided that since we are on a mountain, we would have to pass on the SkyRide this time. We also had to pass on the Will Rogers Shrine. The kids didn't know who he was anyways.
