The Colquett 5 Visits the Zoo.....

 Y'all, we had an absolute blast yesterday at the Montgomery Zoo.  We had wanted to spend a few days at the beach during Heidi's Spring Break, but decided against it and thought the zoo would be super fun.  We have already been talking about our next trip back. 

This bear was the first thing we saw.  It was so funny to us to watch it all stretched out sleeping.


I had been telling Sophie that if she didn't start being nice that we were going to leave her with the Monkeys.  As you can tell from the video, she was not crazy about that idea.


We could not figure out what this animal was.  It looked like a rabbit, but yet didn't hop.  Heidi ran to the sign to try to tell us what they were.
And here was the sign.....

This was the reptile part.  They loved seeing all the snakes, lizards, frogs, etc.

Karter had so much fun.  He and Heidi would run 10 steps ahead of us LOL.  As you can tell, they were not busy at all.  It was very enjoyable without a ton of people there.
Hard to see, but there was a Jaguar at the glass in this picture.  The thing was they had caution tape up around it so that you couldn't get up close to it.  We had no idea why.
And next was feeding the Giraffe, Willie.  That was so neat.  We all enjoyed that.  Heidi and I have decided that we need a pet Giraffe.  How hard would it be?  Build a tall fence.  Provide grass, feed, and water.  Right??? It was the sweetest thing.




We also did the train ride.  Not the best ride.  It didn't really take you to see a lot of the animals, so the kids got pretty bored with it. 



HAHA Soph was her normal self.  She had us all stalled so she could open her piece of gum.
They even had a playground :)!  The kids loved it.


It was a great all around day :)!  Very cold, but we bundled up and still had fun.
