Our first stop was the train ride around (part of) the park. We almost had the entire train to ourselves but a few last second riders did jump on board.
You can't believe the speed of that high powered train! But even with the intensity of speed that almost accompanied the ride it was fun to see the zoo from a different perspective.
These goffer holes we in with the nocturnal animals. But these animals seemed very awake during this day.
Donovan spends some time admiring the bats hanging upside down. There were a lot but the picture doesn't show it.
I supposed we each have our own way of enjoying the zoo experience.
We we're very fortunate to be able to join Aunt Janeil and her 3 children (Katie, Anna and Troy) for this trip to the zoo. Here Katie, David and Donovan head out to see the birds in a somewhat dried-up pond. Michael follows along but was just doing his own thing, checking out the animals.
Aunt Janeil is trying to point out the baby money to the kids.
Michael was mesmorized by the big gorilla that was hanging out by the display window.
Let's listen in on the scientific explorations of these youth:
All good things must come to an end...Aunt Janeil and her kids had to leave early and we were left to ourselves (almost literally) to explore the zoo.
We thought that paying special attention to this cougar would be important over (BYU's) homecoming weekend.
And the llamas didn't seem phased by the cooler weather even though the elephant and the rhino were no where to be found.
And the boys favorite stop was the giraffe. I'm not sure why but that was the one stop, besides the carosel and the train, that they wanted to see in the entire zoo.
