Nathan's Birthday at the Zoo Part 2

Megalodon Jaw Replica ....  Kaedyn, Clairah and Nathan stood there for a minute before we left the aquarium.  

Then we went to go eat lunch ....  the birthday boy found a rock he liked.... 

We had a fabulous picnic lunch at the Zoo....  we had sandwiches (ham or bologna) with cheese and condiments, pickles (both for the sammiches or spears to eat) ... we had chips and fruit and salad ...  all kinds of nummyness ....

 Um.... like Mother like daughter.....  LOL ... Shila and Clairah

Expressing her unhappiness ... LOLOL

 After lunch the kids were so full all they could do was roll around!

Back on the trail again ....  Momma showed Clairah the Elephants - pretty important because Elephants inspired Baby Elly's name and that's going to be her "theme" ....

Kaedyn and Nathan checking out the big ol' tiger ....


There was a momma and some babies too

The only monkeys we saw (boo!)

 Baby Otters!!!

 Porcupines and some .....  deerish thing?  Not sure what the animal on the bottom is called.

There are camel rides which we haven't done ...  but I took this picture of some random kid doing it!

PENGUINS!!!  It is nesting season so a lot of them were hiding in the little caves ....

Happy little family walking along.....  the boy in the green shirt is Noah up ahead of them, with Calahan pushing the boys in the stroller .... this stroller is most DEFINITELY not big enough for them :(

Walrus ....

 Seals ....... I love the seals!!!  (In case you can't tell by the number of pictures I took)

Puffin Penguins .....

 Noah noticed the two Puffins in the photos only had one leg and he was coming up with reasons as to why they only had one leg.  Many of the others had two, so it wasn't just a zoo thing, but had to be a rehabilitation thing.  So ...  he came up with they could have gotten into a fight, they could have had one amputated cuz it was sick, they could have had it caught in something and that's why they lost it.... he came up with some good reasons.   I told him they just wanted to be special like him.  (Homeschool!)

Polar Bears!!!!  Glacier the Polar Bear was recently diagnosed with cancer and heart disease ... These bears are probably Blizzard and Boris.

 Loooooooooooove these two pictures.....

Sea Otters ....

 Reindeer ....  Nathan checking him out....

Red Wolves were napping,

 ^^^^ He caught me......

Then they got up .... realized there were two of them.  There is one laying on the rock in the middle of the middle picture below ... and the one below that....  the stumps he's between all the trees...

Meerkats!

Frogs ......

 Frogs and a turtle (upper middle)

Cockroaches... snakes ... and a lizzerd ....

Three little kids passed out (Kaedyn, Nathan and Clairah) and a bunch of giggle box other kids....
