Summer Vacation - part 3

Part 3

What would a vacation be without great animals?? That's what we thought, and so we headed off to the LA Zoo.

Picture #1: One of the first things that Elizabeth did, after jumping up and down with excitement at being at the newly renovated zoo, was to find a place where she could pet an animal...which happened to be a snake. (Shea did too, after her).

Picture #2: Shea's favorite animal in 4th grade was the ocelot because it was a cool wildcat. Well, we certainly found one at the zoo, and eating its prey, no less!

Picture #3: Shea's a great map interpreter. Elizabeth can read maps, but sometimes has trouble interpreting them. :) We make a great team.

Picture #4: There was a fun and stunning spider exhibit. I think that they put in this specific spider to keep the kids less scared. :)

Picture #5: Very happy to find shade in the bamboo forest. It was a hot day!

Picture #6: The majestic tiger keeping cool and clean

Pictures #7 & 8: The massive orangutans!

Picture #9: The graceful Gerenuk

Pictures #10 & #11: Some close-up shots
