The Zoo

I was off last weekend so we made another trip to the zoo.  We have a season pass so we might as well get our moneys worth!  The last time we were there the Aquarium renovations weren't done yet, so we were sure to hit up the new aquarium this time.  That is what Lily wanted to see the most and Avery loves fishies, so it was perfect!  I was surprised because Lily was scared of some of the fish??  She has a fish of her own, so I don't know what she was so scared of.  The line to the petting part of the aquarium was out the door and it was hot and CROWDED so we opted not to wait. 

We packed up a picnic lunch with good ole PB&J sandwiches and enjoyed lunch outside.  Our next stop was the butterfly pavilion...I thought Avery would like this and she did.  It is kind of boring, but still a success with the kiddos.  We then ventured up the giant hill to see the rhinos and we were excited to see that the elephants will be coming back in the next 3-5 years in a new exhibit!  Our final stop was the carousel.  We told Lily last time that she could go on a ride the next time we were there.  Her and Avery, of course, had a ball.  Little Avers was smiling and laughing the whole time!
