Lions, Tigers, and Bears- Oh My!

This past Saturday after the Race for the Cure downtown, we took the boys to the zoo for the first time this year (and Aiden's first time ever.) They both had a blast and we spent a good part of the day there before they (and I) had enough. It was really nice weather (74) and the zoo was PACKED.

We rode the train, because you can't get away from it with Jonah. He also was interested in the roller coaster, but he is a little too short (3 more inches).

(see I do exist)

This year the zoo has two new bears (our last one pasted away during the fall), so we went to visit them and Jonah growled at them for 10 mins. It was so cute, because I was probably 30-40 feet away (because of the crowds) and I could hear him.

They have also replaced the shark exhibit from the mishap with a maintenance mistake that killed almost all of the sharks. It is an exhibit that has dog sharks and you are able to pet them as they swim by. It is really cool.

I am looking forward to going later this summer. They are going to have an exhibit on the Komodo Dragons. I have always wanted to see one. Then next summer, they will be having some cheetahs and we seen some work happening in the forest area that has a 2011 date on it, but we do not know what is coming yet. Last year, the Koalas were in the forest area.

So, anyone want to join us? You are more than welcome to come along. :)
