We made a trip to the zoo to see the new baby giraffe, and we were surprised by ANOTHER new giraffe - but this one wasn't real, it was a statue! A nice field trip chaperone offered to take this picture of all three of us with the new giraffe statue.
I had a hard time getting a very good picture of the new baby because Lily wanted to keep moving around the outside of the exhibit, seeing the giraffes from all different angles.
After the giraffes, we headed over to the Children's Zoo for awhile, where we were greeted by this friendly turtle character. Lily said he looked like Franklin the turtle, from the popular children's book series.
This is the first time Dylan played in the play area near the otters, and he had SO much fun climbing up the cargo net to go down the slide! He's getting so big.
Eventually he did notice the otters sliding next to him when he was going down the green slide, so he went over to take a look.
Lily thought this circle was the perfect size for her to rest.
Usually when we look at the spectacled bears they're sitting back on the rocks, kind of hidden away and difficult for the kids to see. But on this day they were right out front, and one of them was sitting straight up in the water! I swear this bear was posing for all the people taking its picture, turning its head back and forth, just sitting there as happy as could be.
I can't tell in this picture which adult elephant is standing here with the babies, but I like the picture because we can see the different sizes of Tupelo and Baylor.
Dylan and Lily both REALLY enjoyed watching the backhoe working on the expansion to the elephant exhibit. Look at Dylan's face - he's so happy! I can't wait to see the new pool for the elephants.
