We had a fun day at the Hogle Zoo today.

Eliza started out the day with a lion-sized drink!

"Did somebody say a big drink?" (Lily)

Becca and Micah can't get to everything fast enough.

Micah (and Lily) let Grandma know that snakes are something to get all excited about!

Eliza's "on top" of the world . . . or at least a statue. Meanwhile Micah is in the background, planning strategies on an unsuspecting pacifier owner.

Janel with a tired-of-walking crew. She revived all our spirits with her famous chicken salad sandwiches later. :)

Eliza checking her arm span with these hairy mammals.

Jacob spreads out to see if he measures up . . . to an infant gorilla, that is.

Eliza has an up-close-and personal look at a real live gorilla . . . from one inch away!

Grandma & Micah and Lily and Janel aren't phased by this stern looking gorilla. Bring him on!

The giraffes were so captivating, Eliza and Lily couldn't be persuaded to look...even for a very brief photo moment.

It didn't take any "egging on" to get Lily in this big shell.

Micah considering a future in canine dentistry.
Lily emerging from the snake slide.

Lily led out and showed the others how to stay cool.

Micah took this instruction seriously.

When we looked like this . . . we knew it was time to head for home.
