The Zoo - Again - Part 2

Part 2 of pictures from the zoo:

Jenna and a goat...
Can you see the alligator?
Someone threw a coin on the gator's head. Aw.
Good eva-ning!
Bebe having fun. She did get out of the stroller and I carried her some so she could see.
Giraffes are so weird looking and beautiful at the same time!
I don't know what this animal is. They were in with the giraffes but I liked the way their noses looked like chocolate. (Is it an impala?! Do they have those stripes? Not a gazelle...Who knows...Now it's really bothering me.) I found it online - finally. It's an Adult Female Kudu! Whatever that is.
A close up of the giraffe eating.
Jenna always likes the zebras. Not sure why...
Don't rhinos look so prehistoric??
Baby ducks. They were here on their own time with their mommy.
The zoo had a new thing called Stingray Bay. You had to pay but you could go in (pay again to feed them, we did not) and pet them. Jenna and I LOVED this. Their barbs WERE removed, so no worries. Some of them would come up out of the water and WAIT to be pet. I recommend doing this even though charging AGAIN for something when you've already paid a lot to begin with to get into the zoo angers me...

Here's Jenna reaching in...
And there's my hand petting one. See how they shark up and wait to be pet?! It was great!
Ash took her first train ride! Here she is with her Daddy and big sis. Excuse Jenna and her dorito...Ashley REALLY wanted to try one.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Let me know what you think of them. Have a great day!

I don't blame Ash. Seeing that Dorito kind of makes me want one too.

Great photos! I love going to the zoo! I'm so jealous you get sunshiny weather where you live. It is snowing where I live :( Your girls are so cute as always! I love Ashley's cupcake shirt!!
