<\/a><\/p>\nGetting three kids up, fed, sun-screened, packed, and in the car is a challenge, but we managed to get to the zoo gates by 7:20am. Brendan had to stay home with his nurse this time. He wouldn’t have like the heat at all. Kayla got to meet a Komodo dragon face to face We almost had the whole zoo to ourselves. Yesterday was the first day of school for most of the local schools, plus the high temp was going to be 107 degrees. Going early today was a great idea. Monkeying around! Look familiar? Trevor’s favorite part so far – watching a shovel truck trying to unearth a tree stump This monkey is making a Trevor face More monkeys We went in to the squirrel monkey garden. The monkeys are running loose all around. Trevor giggled every time a monkey jumped into a tree We had prepped for the kids to play in the splash pads at the zoo. The bigger one is a pretty cool pad, but all of the water jets are on sensors that only run when it detects people. These three kids were not big enough to keep all the water running so it was a little less than full effect, like when it is packed with kids. The girls took turns chasing Trevor This one duck made it up from the lake to beg for food Once we got all dry, we headed to the petting zoo. Trevor bothered this little group of young goats and they would all blast off running. He would follow, giggling. The girls were much more calm Trevor loves peek-a-boo goats You can’t visit this zoo without taking a picture in this shell Turtle Ashley Turtle Kayla Giant spider! Giant spider web! Trevor giving the lion a kiss The last thing we were able to do before it got too hot was to visit Stingray Bay. This was a perfect exhibit to see when there was nobody around. The stingrays all were in the mood to be pet. For as much as Trevor loves water, he didn’t want to lie on the wall and stick his hands in the fish water Kayla had a special friend, a large, light brown ray that she named “Kite”. It came around and would splash her and come out of the water and all but give her a kiss. At 10:30, it was feeding time. You could buy little cups of fish and shrimp bits. The rays were hungry! Trevor was tired! He ran a few laps around the ray pool and then he just waited in his stroller. Brendan had a good day and he was happy to see everyone this afternoon. Ashley was very interested in helping Brendan get over his fear of touching things Brendan surprised everyone by playing with this cone The he hammered out the terms of an agreement with the dog Trevor says, “Back away from my cone, dog” We had a whole pack of tired kiddos tonight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is going to be the most pictures I have ever put in a single blog post. I just can’t narrow it down any more, there are too many cousins and too much cuteness. During the summer, the Phoenix Zoo … Continue reading
