As promised cute kids at a zoo. And a cute baby.
My friend we went to visit is in the process of adopting her little girl. She’s not allowed to put any pictures out on the web, but said it’s okay if her face is blocked out somehow. So, I went through and put circles or what have you on her face.
Princess was convinced she needed to help baby Tigger and had so much fun coming over and reassuring the baby no one could get her.
Meanwhile, my kids continued their love affair with all things animal statue.
That bird statue is supposedly of a 6 foot tall bird that is not extinct. It may have been taller, I’m not remembering it super clearly what they were saying, because it was rather hard to believe. Of course, people also didn’t really believe in the platypus until a live sample was brought back.
At least this zoo understood kids are dying to climb on these statues, and didn’t try to discourage it. We’ve been to some where they get all bent out of shape. All I think when my kids get yelled at is: 1. Don’t put it where kids can get to it easily, my kids leave statues alone that are roped off, and 2. It’s highly unlikely that kids climbing on the statue will hurt it. At least here they understood kids will climb on it, and set it up that way (notice the nice soft rubber for the kids to land on when they fall off).
Smart zoo people.
And we had to try out all of the different masks. The ones that cracked me up was the “Alien visitation theory scientist,” for all of the different theories and scientists for why the dinosaurs died out, so they hav
e that, but not a flood one?
I had a couple of hams all day long. They enjoyed showing off for the camera. Here they’re showing off on a pile of fossils.
Picture below is what the fossils are supposed to be of, the La Brea Tar Pits.
You have no clue how many tries it took to get both of them poking their head up at the same time.
And headed home, poor Tigger was so tired out and ready to be home she cried the whole way back, almost an hour and a half and nothing would console her. My kids had a solution for that.
It looks like everyone had a great time. I love the animal statue fascination!
That zoo sounds amazing, and hooray for smart zoo people!
Oh, you need another baby. I saw the look on Princess' face. She would love a baby. 😉
I love the ice thing with the seal – it might have taken a lot of shots, to get both boys popping up at once, but how cute a picture!
The kids sure enjoyed the Zoo. I love all the pictures!
that is hilarious T. I love how you made Tigger's face….kinda reminded me of 'the nightmare before Christmas' ha ha ha
I loved the zoo with you guys. Much fun 🙂
Sounds like a great trip. We have the same hippo in SF zoo. I suppose the 6 foot bird is now extinct and not “not extinct”?
That looks like so much fun. I love that they expect the kiddos to climb on the statues. If not, trying to keep them off of it is a bit like holding back the ocean, isn't it? 😉
Looks like you guys had a good time. Thanks so much for visiting!
Awww, poor Tigger!
The pictures are really cute. Congrats to your friend. My kids are usually asleep even before leaving the zoo parking lot, poor tigger and poor you all!
How could you not use the stautues to take so many wonderful photos.
Why do tired children insist on using what little energy they have left to cry for the duration of a very long car trip?!?
Oh, my those are so cute kid pictures! They look like they are having so much fun.
