This is the second trip to the zoo since we have had our zoo pass and every time we go to the zoo it rains. We went on Sunday and it was pretty humid when we got there. It was also overcast but we thought the rain would hold off. We were wrong. About 10 minutes after we got through the gates it started to sprinkle and then pour. Daulton went through the splash park and we figured there was no harm, we were already a little wet. The rain started to let up and we decided to proceed to the cheetah exhibit.
We were able to see the entire safari exhibit. The boys were inside the penguin ride when it started to rain again. As soon as the boys stepped out of the ride it started to downpour. We tried to wait it out under some trees but after about 10 minutes we decided we had enough. One more stop for Daulton at the splash park and we were back in the car.
Here are some pictures from our trip.
Can you see the cheetah?
Here kitty, kitty...
The male cheetahs are kept separate from the female cheetahs in the pictures in the previous pictures. They were much lazier than the female cheetahs. Also, the three females are sisters and the two males are brothers.
The Guinea baboons are another favorite of ours. We could watch them interact with each other for hours, well maybe not hours, but they are pretty entertaining.
The bat ear foxes are also new to the zoo and were so cute.
Even though we were drenched by the end, we had a great trip. And hopefully one day we can go to the zoo without the rain!
Awesome!! I so want to go!! We were supposed to go when Jason was off in June, but they were closed that Friday for Zoobalition or something like that. I am so glad you had fun:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got to see a lot for the short time you were there! We all need to plan a zoo trip soon!! I have to justify buying a pass in April :)
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of your boys at the end of your post! They are the cutest!
