A Trip to the Zoo

Yesterday we went to Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens. We got up early and were there when the Zoo opened. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the different animals and took a Trolley to the gardens. We lucked out with the weather. It started pouring rain right after we left. Of course, Mommy took a lot of pictures! Enjoy!
Daddy's favorite animal was this gorilla.






Do you see the rhino in the background?


These kangaroos were super close. We were able to 
walk on a path right next to them!

There's a kangaroo in the background!


This big guy was enjoying the sun!

We got to pet some goats.

Trolley ride to the gardens.

There were lots of pretty flowers.


There were also lots of fountains.








Hayden found an "underground" tunnel.

These ceramic flowers were pretty!

Are we giants or is this house too small?

Dinosaur dig!

Mommy thought these flowers were really cool!

It was hot so we cooled off with an I-cee. Yum!

We found an "O" for Opa in the gardens. We love and
miss you VERY much!

The view from the bridge, walking back from the gardens.

Mommy loves her new phone camera and enjoyed
taking close up pictures of the animals.

The Koala didn't want to turn around.





We didn't get to see the bears but check out the size
comparison to a bear paw!








There were a lot of flamingos.









We even saw a baby flamingo!

I got a hippo and Hayden got a wolf from the gift
shop. It was a fun trip to the zoo!

Whitewater Rafting

We went to the Whitewater Center yesterday. We wanted to see the Duck Race (for KinderMourn) but we wanted to go early enough to enjoy some activities.
At orientation, ready to go!













Zoom in on the faces. I'm hidden in this one but you 
can see Hayden. Haha!























We had fun on the obstacle course trail.






We also did the zipline.








40,000 ducks were purchased for the Duck Race.




It started raining so we only saw the ducks from a 
distance. You can see all of the yellow ducks in the
water.



Here are some videos....




What a fun day! We can't wait to go back and try out the kayaks and paddleboards.
