Zoo Babies

Our kids love to go to the zoo. I love to go especially when there are baby animals to see. There are quite a few right now. They are SO cute!

The kids love to get a map and figure out which direction to go...


I love tigers... they are my fave! We were excited to see the cute babies. They were so funny. There were three of them, and they kept trying to sneak up on their mom. It was so cute.


Baby giraffes are so cute. They always seem so little when they are standing next to their mom, but when you realize that they are over 6 feet tall, they don't seem so little anymore.


When we went to the zoo in August, we were told that the female elephant was in labor, so we were super excited to be able to see the new baby this time! She was the cutest! Like the giraffe, she looked so tiny next to her mom, but I don't think 250 lbs. is all that small. She played with her ball, and tried to reach something through the fence... it was fun to watch her. And the mom kept reaching up for a bite of hay, and she would lift her one front foot - so graceful.

And of course, the cutest babies at the zoo belong to me!

We had Jared's brother Matthew and his cute family visiting from Virginia. They were here for the week, so we talked them into coming to the zoo with us. Their cute little Kylie had fun, I think. She liked the carousel.

Jared's sister Marie and her husband Jeff were there too. Some of us didn't manage to get in any of the pictures. We had a really fun day at the zoo!
