Tautphaus Park Zoo!

On June 12, 2014, Richard had the day off because they ran out of work for him for that week, so we went to the zoo in Idaho Falls!

See the crocodile?!?
A baby lemur clinging to momma....so cute:)
Otters! Usually when we go they just sit or sleep and never move, but this time they were very active! We loved watching them dive and swim--so cool:)
Giant Turtles! SO BIG! very neat!

R-O-A-R!!
She wanted nothing to do with this tiger!  Bet you couldn't have guessed that ;)


The classic lion fountain!

I didn't mention to her that daddy and gpa like to shoot these;)

After the zoo, we went across the street to the rides and let Kinzie pick a ride! (we were going to let caydo ride too, but he was already asleep when we got there. He was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he got in his car seat!) She chose a bench on the Merry-Go-Round! She seemed to enjoy it:)
Since it was also Father's Day weekend, I took Richard to Stockman's for lunch after the zoo! Kinzie ate a roll then lied down on the bench and fell asleep!! Cayden was still asleep...it was the most peaceful lunch we've had in a long time:)
It was such a beautiful day with lots of fun animals and memories! A few animals that I always love to see but weren't there this time were the peacock and the penguins. bummer. maybe next time. There was a baby zebra tho--that was cute:) And the monkeys are always entertaining to watch! 
I love watching my kids' reactions to the animals! so much excitement!!!
Very fun day, but we were all exhausted when we got home!
