Dave was able to score free zoo tickets from his work and so we took the kids on Friday. It's definitely NOT the San Diego Zoo, but it is a nice zoo. They are doing some reconstruction on some of the exhibits so we weren't able to see the Lions and a few other animals. And of course because of the EXTREME heat and humidity some of the animals did not feel the need to come out and people watch. One of our first stops was at Sting Ray bay so the kids could touch a sting ray. The sting rays were very friendly and one in particular liked to show off by jumping up out of the water. It of course scared me to death and I would jump. The kids thought that was pretty funny. Because of Dave's work he gets to go the zoo often to inspect, he knew one of the workers there and they gave the kids some fish to feed the Sting Rays. It was pretty cool the way they took the food from your hand. Their mouths are underneath and they are like a vacuum, sucking the fish from your hands. Jake and Hunter wanted to go and see the snake exhibits. The only reason I went in was because it was an air conditioned building. I'm not a big snake fan. As we were looking at them all we came upon a HUGE Python who was just having lunch, a full grown rabbit! It was truly AMAZING!! I was totally grossed out and in awe at the same time. You know one of those things where you don't want to watch, but can't help yourself. Anyway, I thought the little kids would be freaked out, but they were just as amazed as I was. It was incredible. Glad I'm not a rabbit!
All in all it was a great day at the zoo.

So I can't get my slideshow to work on here...UGH! I will just have to post a couple of pictures from our day at the zoo till I can get Carlie over here to help me.
