4th of July!

For the 4th of July this year, we headed to the zoo!  As members we get to go in early and since Troy was off, we decided to try it.  As a surprise, the Zimmers were able to join us, which made it that much more fun!
We always have to take a pic with the lions.  I’m not sure where Poppy was…

Checking out the sun bear.  We love this bear because it’s always up and moving.

Thelma and Louise, the brand new 2-headed turtle!

Troy always lets the boys feed the lorikeets.  They love and so do the birds!

This was serious business and her first time to try it.

These guys loved it until that bird stole the entire cup of nectar and flew away.

We couldn’t visit the zoo and skip Poppy’s beloved goats.  Mr. Jerry should be so proud!

The best we could do of the whole crew.  Apparently red was the color for the day.

Good friends on the elephant statue.

BFF’s!

We ended the morning with a dip in the wading area, a first for the Zimmer kids!  It had been while since we’d been there too, and the water was definitely more shallow now that my kids are bigger!  Not sure we need to do that again… It was a fun trip, and we got out of there just before the crowds got crazy.
