We had planned on spending our weekend building the porch to our playhouse, but it had been raining for several days and things were just too wet to do it. So we decided on an impromptu trip to the Jacksonville Zoo. We had lots of fun. The weather was perfect - not too hot. The girls would probably say their favorite thing was playing in the Play Park, but mine was definitely the squirrel monkeys! Those are some cute little animals! We saw a 4 week old giraffe, tons of nesting wood storks, and a crazy little baby mandrill monkey. I took a ton of pictures and am in awe of this camera - I love it! Anyway, enjoy looking at our day at the zoo!
Kaylin's favorite animal was the pink flamingos. She couldn't wait to see those!
I loved watching all three of them together. They would get so excited at the various animals we saw!
Kaylin enjoyed pointing things out to Maryella. She's such a good big sister!
Kaylin and Annlee tried out their "Steve Irwin" alligator wrestling skills!
I love all the statues they have around the zoo. Makes for great photo ops!
Here is my favorite - the squirrel monkey! They are so cute! This one kept coming right up to where Maryella was sitting in the stroller eating snacks. I think he was hoping for a hand out. Thank goodness they were behind glass, because Maryella was actually willing to share!
Right in front of the squirrel monkey exhibit were a bunch of ropes meant to look like the vines that the monkeys play on. Kaylin and Annlee had a ball pretending to be squirrel monkeys!
Maryella loved seeing all the big cats. Every time we came up to one, she would say "meow".
We were fascinated by this animal - the world's largest rodent! He looked like a giant hampster. Kaylin wouldn't even get near the glass, she thought he was so weird looking.

I'm with Kaylin on the giant RAT! Yuck.
I ran into Carla at the park with her two little girls! We sat and talked for the better part of an hour. It was a lot of fun!
