Dinosaurs at the ZOO

I know, the zoo again.  I've been six times this year, and it's only mid-March.

It is a different experience every time we go!

Snow leopard!  They don't just sleep!

colorful fowl ("colorfowl"?)

The always sleeping lions and my pink giraffe with the big giraffes.

Always love having friends at the zoo!  Thanks for joining us Britney with Kara,

Sherry with Ike and Ainsley, and Emily with Porter.

The three July girls, born in 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Can't wait for the butterflies to come in the spring!

A markor that looks like a wizard, a black bear just peaking out from its den,

and I finally got a picture of Aria in her panda shirt in front of the red pandas.

(It totally counts, even though they were sleeping.) 

The newly renovated DINOSAURS!  

There are definitely some perks to having a zoo pass - we got to see them during the 

member-only preview week, so it wasn't crazy crowded yet.

What makes the dinosaurs special?  This: 

They don't all move, but there are quite a few that do.  

The first time we saw one Aria freaked out a bit and hid behind me.

Overall she did okay, but refused to let me step back and take a picture of her.

She definitely liked them better from afar.

See her face at the left?  Yeah, not super impressed.

But she loves watching the little video over and over,

so we'll see how she does when we go back again.
