The girls and I had gone several times already, but Ricardo had not, so we finally made it as a family outing one Saturday. Canon was there and had set up some high-powered cameras/lenses that they were allowing people to use/practice/play with, and they let Ricardo use his own memory card from our camera so he could take the photos with him! It was really fun--some of these photos are of animals that have more detail than we would have been able to get from our camera's distance!
Paparazzi shot...we were distracted by the giraffes.
My sweet 3 year old!
One restaurant has glass walls around the lion's habitat, and the lions love to sleep right up against the glass. I love Xaris' face as she sees how big it is once it starts to get up!
Xaris also has a zoo passport, and each time she visits they stamp her book. I think there is a prize once you get them all stamped, so I'd better not lose it.
