Zoo Time!

I just LOVE the zoo! I'm not sure what it is but it's one of my favorite things to do. Since we made our move out east our zoo trips have decreased tremendously. I have to admit I've really missed our Albuquerque zoo.  So last weekend after picking the kids up from their weekend camping trip with Nana and Pop Pop we made a side detour to the Virginia Zoological Park in Norfolk. It was hot and humid but after a weekend full of rain we were ever so grateful for the clear skies for our visit!

The statue at the entrance, if you look close it's a cluster of butterflies, so pretty!

 We are ready!

 This tiger had just finished eating and was chewing on her bone when we walked up. Next thing we knew she was walking up to our window...think she was looking for second's???

 My little Orangutans! Yes, that is Brayden trying with all his might to reach :)

 Red Panda! Just walking along the tree right above us...guess these guys don't jump.

 

 These two were buddies, using the tail as a punching bag.

 Why hello there!

 Going for a Rhino ride!

 Cracking each other up!

 Sometimes we just don't want to take pictures Mom!

 Best part of the zoo...finishing the hot day in the water! SO glad we had our swimsuits with us!

 ahhh!!
