Zoo Day with Gramma J

Like I have said before, we have a membership to our zoo. We love going all summer long!

This trip, Gramma J came along to enjoy the fun!

Mike made a new friend :-)

These are my favorite animals at the zoo. They are the red pandas. I felt so bad for these little cuties because shortly before, they had a baby and it didn't survive :-(  Apparently is is rare for red panda babies to survive. That is why they are so endangered.  They are SO cute though! 

Funny story about this croc... The zoo sometimes gets animals that have been rescued. More often than not, people think they can have these animals as pets in their homes. When they change their mind, the zoo sometimes takes them.  Well, this alligator used to be a drug guard. I heard that drug dealers had it in their house to guard their drugs and/or money from people trying to steal it.  This guy is like 8 feet long!

I love how the girls break off tiny pieces of bread, line them up, and flick them into the water one at a time :-)

Another fun zoo day!  Thanks for joining us, Gramma J!

After the zoo, we went home and played outside for a while. The girls heard the ice cream truck and since it was 100° outside, I decided to splurge on a few frozen treats :-)

Just another fun summer weekend!

I'm participating in the Nester's 31 Day Challenge!
